   properly attributed too. it might even be signed and you just haven't seen it yet. Sometimes the Steuben acid signature can be a bitch to find. But so far I've found it on all my pieces that I thought weren't marked. you need a super bright day and some patience or a super bright light. look all over the base at different angles. I bet you find it.

   Greatsnowyowl ... awesome! I put the vase up to a really strong light source and after a lot of playing and squinting, the Steuben mark showed up. It's a small ribbon in a fleur-de-lis located in the center of the ground, polished pontil. After all these years ... many thanks.

   Posted an image of the Steuben acid etched marking ... thanks Greatsnowyowl for the tip on finding the mark. It helps that I own a macro lens. :)

    Obscurities ... interesting that you mentioned the mark being 'forged.' After photographing and posting here, I did a bit of checking. Some websites show examples of good and forged maker's marks, and I started to get suspiscious about this one. What are the clues that suggest this is a faked mark? (It's always good to learn this stuff.) And why would someone etch a forgery mark on a real piece of Steuben? Otherwise, thanks for looking this over.

    I'm just wondering is there any prove that the markers mark or that this is a fake?

    You should really check out Corning glass website

    Just to verify

    The other thing that might explain it is that it is quite original, and maybe one of a kind, a beautiful piece !~
