Monart Signature – What is the FBS or BFS mark? |
---|
![]() |
The FBS mark is only found on ‘export’ marked Monart. It has also been reported on one French piece of glass and on the paper label of an Italian piece of glass. This would suggest that FBS is probably an American glass retailer. It would be nice to identify the name to go with the initials. |
Monart signature experiments all on one piece Real or a fakers work piece, styled like Vasart sigs? Not as neat as above! |

These labels were used on packaging and cut lengths of glass without Moncrieff sandblast marking; they were reproduced in the 1933 catalogue of the US distributor. |
