LOL !!  Well,, you are going on the assumption that it is made by a company or factory !! I think is a studio piece or ceramics class item !! You won`t find it by googling !!

nowt wrong wi my peepers...it does,nt say Fogal...for if it did...then using the first stroke as an F....leaves out the last stroke, which in my opinion is a decorative.....id, have to say,O.G.41....but.....i,d agree with mart..that you probably won,t find this googling....but in the off chance that you do....then i think perhaps i,d better start learning to speak urdu.... :D

I get that-even its shape isn't really describable for me to google, but its a cutie and a keeper for me.

Its cute but what is it ?? A vase ??

Title: Re: could you help me read a signature mark
Post by: sugarcube5419 on August 18, 2013, 02:44:52 PM

I think its just decorative though probably would be called a cup/vase, lots of work on the face and just very unique

greenacres-have a story to tell you, I did as you said, the woman was from mankato mn not far from my home town of austin mn which it turns out mrs. fogels son is a catholic priest there in town, but he was transferred of course just to make it more interesting

I have asked him if he wants it, sent the pics I sent here, would be a fun thing if it all works out 

Will let you all know and thanks

It would be pretty neat if that piece finds its way home.

(Interesting to hear Austin mentioned. My Aunt has lived there for the last 60 years, with a good portion of that time spent teaching in the public schools. I was just thinking about going to visit her...but I want to make sure to miss the National Barrow Show. ;D)

Hope it works out sugarcube. Rauville what is the National Barrow Show? I'll have to look that one up. :)
