Featured Iridized Art Glass Vase w/Fish Silhouette

Good morning - I have a lovely iridized art glass vase with acid etched fish silhouette. The finished pontil has damage right where the signature would be. I can make out the last letters 'lass' which I assume is "glass". I thought perhaps this was an early Correia vase. It is in a collection with some early Steven Lundberg .
Thank you for any suggestions!

 

It looks more like damage than a pontil scar. Almost like someone was trying to remove the signature.

 

I agree (but I have very limited knowledge/experience ) that ‘damage’ looks weird or purposeful. Cool looking vase!

 

Not purposeful. The owner told me that housekeeper thought she could put it in the dishwasher and ended up clunking the end of the vase on the granite counter top. She also cracked really nice piece of art glass that had copper wires blown into it. The dishwasher heat made the copper expand and fractured the vase up one side. I told him we might as well use the glass for jewelry shards. At least she admitted it and didn't try to put the vases back on the shelves.
