Have tried  E Naryesif, E Nargesif, E Naryerif, E Nargerif, E Nasyesif, and every variation thereof.  No luck.

I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

Not the same

And with Gouda etc, Margriet is the pattern, not the painter.

I think this may be a one off as opposed to a mass produced item...from perhaps an artists studio....
