Hello,

Please can anyone identify who's signature / maker this is?

The glass is 9 inches tall - quality handmade wine glass.

Signed to outside of the lower base.

Signature unknown.

Colour of bowl is a mixture of duck egg blue / green, mustard yellow, dark pink to pale pink and black marbling.  With an iridised band around the top.

Thank you.

Hiya!
Would you rub a tiny bit of talcum powder over the signature with your thumb and take another pic. (in focus, pretty please?)
And an image of the whole thing would help too - to get a better idea of it as a whole. thanks!

The whole beast is now looking very much as if it could be lampwork - and there's another beautiful glass up for id here at the moment, with a signature that looks similarly illegible which could well be the same maker... I'll try to find the thread and link it.
