Glas Vasen,
My friend has looked at your vase - his lovely piece is not signed, but it does have a label. He says your piece matches his though, and he has no doubt that it is a Chris Lucas piece.  :thup:

This thread just gets better and better....GBarfoot, I like the iridescence of the clear glass brick vase, and mrvaselineglass, wow! What a collection!!
Sue, one day, when I grow up, I am going to have some Iestyn Davies Blowzone animals....years ago, I missed one, a lizard on a stone, that sold for £10....well I didn't know, did I?.....I do now!!! :usd:

I've got a green chameleon/lizard on a rock - it's on "midshelf" page 6 of this thread. To it's left, there's a tiny black and gold perfume bottle by Iestyn, but it's Ivo's now.

(reptiles and insects and mushrooms and snails and..... oh dearie, dearie me, I'm a little bit more beastly than I thought I was!  :thud: )
And how could I forget my dragons... (only one in glass, though - sorry it's not in it's display, Anik - my camera won't do displays any more, all my display images are rather old ones.)
This dragon breathes Uranium glass flames. (UV torch on them)

Sergio (Glas Vasen) here is another example in the same finish as your vase with label:

So the signature will be Chris Lucas (A Touch Of Glass).

Some fabulous glass and great displays. Reading the thread has also lead me to feeling a little less guilty about how I display my glass. I know that less is more, that you achieve more of an impact letting the pieces have room to breathe. But I also know that I just can't help adding pieces to a display, except for one case that my wife controls.  Looking at the other photos in the thread it's clear that many others feel the same way. I suppose the main thing about us is that we are collectors. So here's one of my cases, with no apologies for the clutter. The first pictures is of the complete case, followed here and in later posts by photos of the groupings within the case.
