Featured Glass Candlestick holder signature ID

View attachment 145947 View attachment 145947 Hello forum members,
I’ve had these for a while and completely forgot about them until now. When purchased I thought they could be lambert but discovered they’re not. The signature is very hard to decipher. Does anyone recognize the signature or is familiar with this work? Thanks in advance.

 

It looks to me like it says ____ & Lambert.

 

My money is on Val St. Lambert

I don't know if there are variants or changes over time, but here's one:

 

Or the engraver had too much [Irish] coffee that day!

 

Thank you guys. Is must’ve been an off day for the engraver lol

 

What led you to this conclusion?

 

I found an article with all possible St Lambert signatures and none matched this one.

 

Ah. Now you have a small advantage; you're acquainted with another possible signature that's not in the article.

 

Maybe this will help put your mind at rest. See fourth row down. When you're dealing with hand signed pieces to expect exact duplicates is rather unrealistic.

If they are exactly alike, mechanically signed or fraud. When I see a cameo described as hand carved that is a precise, line for line, match with another one, no matter how convincing in appearance, I know I'm looking at artificial or machine cut pieces.

 

Thank you!
