Good evening to all, I bought this vase about 7 years ago from a secondhand shop & have been unable to id
the piece is signed on three corners on the base, but i can only make out what one is, (Australia) the other two

I would welcome any info thanks in advance.

Ooh I am so jealous! That is Chris Pantano Dreamtime vase - and a nice one at that. Most of them are dark background. so this is a surprise to me. The stick figures represent certain types of aboriginal art.

It looks like Graal work - should be worth a pretty penny indeed, Graal is difficult and requires a high level of skill - quite apart from being a fabby thing to own.

Chris Pantano worked in Montville Queensland for many years. I consider him to be one of the best artists because he created series of magnificent themed glass. Dreamtime(yours), Rainforest, Reef, Desert, etc. These designs have been copied by a great many other artists and still are. His studio is now closed and I am not clear whether he is still working in glass.
Tour first photo has his signature and the third says Australia the second I could not make out.
