Topic: pink swirl with deeply impressed mark - any ideas?

[josordoni]

aaaaggggghhhhhhhh

I can't remember either.......

(calls loudly for help from the younger members.....)

[Frank]

and it is a good 1 cm deep.

Centimetre  or millimetre?

[josordoni]

Well, to be honest Frank... the paperweight is downstairs, and I am upstairs, and I am guessing 

Like you (aka I) do....

But it is quite deep, much more than 1mm... I'll go and wash out the talc and measure it and report back.

[Frank]

Oh, what is the company that uses the glassblower on its label?

Borletto
Thomas Webb
Eibenstein
Putzler
Corning
Funcke & Becker
Rohrbach
Viking
McBeth Evans
Witter
Riedel
Verreries Lorraines
Sopfranverre
Sendlinger
... probably a few more.

[josordoni]

Oh , quite rare then...

[Leni]

Ahem.  Excuse me  .... "Oh, what is the paperweight making company that uses the glassblower on its label?  "   

[Leni]

I think I may be thinkiing of Mtarfa, but I don't know if they ever used an impressed mark rather than a label 

[josordoni]

I too have a paperweight with the same impressed mark - hasn't anybody got any ideas
See here

got it got it got it....

It's an Uredale glassblower.....

I went to the website as my other little weight was id'd as an uredale, and what is there in the top corner???

Our glassblower chappie!

Hurray!!

Brilliant, I found one the same shape as mine and as it was almost certainly bought by the ex's Mother who used to live in Yorkshire that makes sense  :hug:

[josordoni]

I tell you Christine, I knew I had seen it somewhere... but could I think where??

I am so pleased that this little weight can come off the "maybe one day I'll know who the heck you are" shelf.
