Topic: Skruf mark

[CathyG]

Hello Everyone!

Did Skruf every mark their glass with a stamp in the glass on the bottom? If so, when would they have made it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I saw that but the one I've seen is like the mark was done in a blob of glass on the bottom. Anyone know if they did that kind of making?

I hate to say this but are you sure its not the leaping salmon logo of Stathearn they are similar and its on a blob of glass like a fruit gum.

Affirmative, the alchemist sign for glass done in a prunt is known for Skruf.

Thanks Ivo without the picture it was guesswork and that mark is not in my edition of your great little book.as is not the one i have on several pieces of Skruf in my collection that look a little like the Strathearn mark.we live and learn.Thanks John.
