Just for future hunting: any time a print has a printed name with something written above it, the printed portion is the artist's name as well....
Hm looks like ink and ink wash to me. India ink used heavy can rub off like described and definitely creates that dark pigment.
The signature and style do not match the 2 options you found. I like what they tried to do with the color mixing. Cast studies always make me...
You added an "anti stick coating"? What was that? I don't usually soak my antique gem brooches, but it shouldn't really if it was only mild dish...

Oh, I was completely serious. The ladies who work those necks are welcome to see my stiletto-wearin' calves! :D Fashion is pain...and skill!
