Would this be an Escher?

Yesterday I got this hone in from a Dutch auction site. In the middle of the lable is a little shield with a goblet and underneath 2 crossed hammers. In the goblet you can just read: E & Co if you use a magnifying glass. It looks like a dark grey blue Escher, do you reckon it is one?

I thought E&Co is Escher.
I have one like this.

I agree - it's an Escher in my book.

Bet it is. Nice score. Give it a lapping and see how the slurry looks and how hard or soft it is.

It sure looks like one to me!:)
