Hutschenreuther details

Hi all picked up this vase I think and was chasing some info. I know some details from online but was wondering if it's normal for them at hutchenreuther to sign the bottom and date. Also the top and bottom of the vase is silver would they use real silver or a paint of some sort of paint. Thanks

 

yes they would use real silver....but it's not always marked...specially if it's very thin...like foil....

Nice vase !!!

 

This appears to be a Hutschenreuther vase that was painted by a hobbiest and then signed.

The paint looks like those oil paints sold in the 1990s at craft shows. You dipped the item into a solution of water and oil paint.
Looks like when they pulled it out they wiped the bottom clean to show the mark. You can see spots of leftover paint.

And of course that is just my thoughts, I could be entirely wrong.

 

Thanks for that I'm no expert but doesn't look like paint to me. Have attached some close ups for perusal
