Topic: Tick on glass

[Margi]

Happy new year all, hope you all had a good one.

Infront of me I have a large, presume, fruit bowl which has a tick on the bottom a bit like the nike tick.  Has anyone seen this before please and if so where?  I am assuming it is modern but also has look and feel of pate de verre or maybe its just frosted and I have had too many wines lately.  Pic added later but don't thinkt he tick will phtograph very well.
TIA

Evening

Back from shopping so pics now added. 
31.5cm wide
8.25 high and weighs approx 3.4lbs

Peach swirl decoration.  The underside has a leaf decoration or at least i think its leaf.

Best pic of the tick I could get.

Any thoughts appreciated

Thanks
Margi

Can't see the tick, hopefully the glass does not get Lyme disease.

Margi,

Took the liberty of playing with your tick pic.

interestingly, because of the way the brain expects light to come from the top of the picture, it now looks like a raised tick, not a depression !

Thanks Gareth np

Looks like it is just a random effect, not a mark.

Thanks Frank, I thought it had been purposefully done as it is central to the base of the bowl and very obvious to the touch and the naked eye.  Let's dismiss the tick for a while, do you have any suggestions on who or when please?

[Margi]

A new thought could this be a light shade gone wrong.  The centre is not central it is out by approx 3cm on one side.  Doesn't answer the tick query but just a thought.  And the leaves have now decided they are palm leaves.

As it is moulded the offset is deliberate and shape is not good for a lampshade. No idea on maker but doubt it has much age.
