Featured Please help with carved glass vase signature

Hello. I have been searching for any information about this artist. The vase is very heavy and beautifully done. The battuto carving is wonderful and I feel the artist is quite skilled. I wish I could figure out who did this. Any help is os appreciated. It looks like there is a faint A in the front of the first name maybe Allen? possibly an A in front of the last as well. Thank you so much!!

 

Quite a unique piece, I love the color! By inverting the image I was able to enhance the signature just a bit....it does indeed look, to me at least, like the first name begins with a script 'A'....the last name begins a bit even fainter, but I think it also "COULD" begin with another script 'A'.....for you to ponder/decide.....

​

 

Thank you! I love the vase. I'll post a few more pictures of the other side with the other colors. The last name is really throwing me, but the enhancement really helps. Thank you again.

 

Actually, now I think the first name may be Allex?

 

Wow, those colours!
The last letters of the surname -ani? Italian glass maybe?

 

Interesting.....there IS an Alex Andreani out there that does a heavy art glass, but I couldn't find something similar to your piece.....but then I'm NOT great at finding things!!!

Thank you!! I actually just found the person. It is Ales Andreani. You guys are the best. On his Facebook page there is apiece of glass that also has the same kind of carving and his friends are commenting on how great his glass art is. I cannot believe how the people on this site can solve these mysteries!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

 

I meant Alex.
