Hi.
I have a competently made paperweight, with a lampwork orchid and leaves set above a blue ground. There is a noticeable ridge around the middle, suggesting it was made by the 'American' method with two slugs of glass joined together. It is signed, but I cannot decipher the signature: it may begin 'Dave' or 'David' with the 'i' missing, then a surname, then '84'.
Diameter 2 3/4 inch / 71 mm; height 1 3/4 inch / 44 mm.
Can anyone identify the maker?
Alan
