@LoetzBuddies
Many thanks for your comment LoetzBuddies, really appreciated you stop by.
How do you know it's fake signature ?? other then you mention Kralik house.
I would love to know, how did you come to fake mark ??

Alan, Frank is correct. This is not Loetz, so the mark must be fake. Having said that, look at the loetz.com website under "identifying" and look at the signatures on there, then compare to yours. Or my own website where I have a page for marks and signatures. The correct signature would have been done with a wheel, held so the it spins vertically, leaving parallel lines in the signature. A modern etched mark is smooth, lacking in those wheel-cut marks.
Here a link for you.

@dlfd911, well, thank you for the link, and your comment is really appreciated.
I just read on mark tonight for few hours,on different web site, learning process.

Happy to help, Alan. Authentic signatures are nice, but never buy a signature. First authenticate the maker, and if you like it for what it is, then buy it. I have a few authentic Loetz pieces with fake Loetz signatures on them. The fake mark actually hurts the value on those, and they are usually too deep to have polished away.
