Re: Toscany? signed Carlo Moretti?
I could be completely wrong but that signature looks a bit iffy to me - scratchy and not very fluent however having said that the only pieces of Carlo Moretti I've ever had were from his Satinato range and weren't signed. If this is a Carlo Moretti design then it's one I've not come across before. Can't really be more help than that - presumably you've already Googled Carlo Moretti?

Re: Toscany? signed Carlo Moretti?
According to a post on the Glass Message board Toscany was an importer/distributor of glass in NY in the 60/70's if I recall correctly. Therefore I guess could have been distributing from many sources which would explain the label and the sig. I thought the sig looked ok from memory but had a quick search and couldn't find one to compare.

Re: Toscany? signed Carlo Moretti?
Thank you for your help. The signature does seem to be legit. I was hoping to id the vase pattern or place it in a series. I had Googled Carlo Moretti but had gotten mostly info on his own glass line.
