<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rastella, post: 339382, member: 6722&quot;]Very interesting, Any Jewelry.&nbsp; Thank you!&nbsp; I&#039;m going to get my better camera and take some pictures in the light as described in the first article.&nbsp; About the mark, the second article refers to a two layer process used by certain companies.&nbsp; As aaroncab described for me, it is an etched mark.&nbsp; The mark on mine has to be inside the glass because the glass is very smooth from both sides and it is very difficult to see.&nbsp; I bought it from Goodwill for $6 because I thought it was a good piece of milk glass.&nbsp; I guarantee you that if they had seen that mark, it would not have been on the floor for $6, lol.&nbsp; I&#039;m quite friendly with the manager there and know how they operate.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t until I was looking through a loupe under light at what I thought was a pontil mark and rust from an iron tool that I spotted a faint glimpse of the Sevres mark.&nbsp; That&#039;s why I can&#039;t get a good picture of it like the sample Say-it-slowly found for me.&nbsp; Now, I&#039;m not so sure that&#039;s a pontil mark at all as it isn&#039;t lining up in with the way a pontil mark should look.&nbsp; As far as the &quot;rust&quot; goes, now that I know what it is, I&#039;m more inclined to think that is bone ash that pooled at the bottom of the vase.&nbsp; If I keep looking, I may find out who&#039;s technique left a &quot;spider-web&quot; like mark on the base.&nbsp; Again, great links, Any Jewelry, and I can always trust your advice!&nbsp; Thank you so much![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
