Tryng to ID signature. ID = William Walker
« on: August 11, 2015, 05:04:11 PM »
I have been through great glass to see if I could find this signature, but didn't find it. I went through a few other web sites, but unsuccessful.

Help please! Thank you in advance.

It might help if we could see the piece in question. :)
Even if we can't read a signature, sometimes we recognise the work, and that can often make interpreting a signature much easier.
I think the date is '92.  ;D

Sorry, I didn't add a photo of the item, as I saw it when I was out today and the photo was slightly blurry, I will add it, but its not great.

It looks like a studio glass candleholder, but I'm afraid I do not recognise the work or the signature, sorry.

We can give it another bump in another week or so, and see if anybody else can help!  :)

The last two digits are 92 so perhaps made in that year.

That's the easy bit and decipherable part :-), think this one will remain a mystery! Thanks for the reply.

It's swan and looks like the style of a William Walker swan and his signature is sometimes very difficult to decipher :)
