Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11520 Registered: Apr 93	posted 10-09-2007 11:32 AM Thanks Fred. I see what you mean. It could be �a conjoined JP over an M�. Because I am not near my references right now, I looked on the Internet. I didn�t find a mark for John Paul Miller but I did find several works and this item doesn�t feel like it was done by the same hand. It would be good to identify the above mark on vathek's item as well as to see the mark(s) for John Paul Miller. Do you have any other examples of John Paul Miller�s marks and/or examples of his work that you could post? IP: Logged
FredZ Posts: 1070 Registered: Jun 99	posted 10-09-2007 11:40 AM Scott, Jan Yager did a interview with Miller for the Smithsonian archives. John has been around for a long time and did not start with granulation and enamel. My speculation was that this might be an early piece. It is a very long shot. I wish I had an example of his work.
