Topic: ID on This Glass Vase please

[mhgcgolfclub]

Any information on this large glass vase , it looks to have been hand made,you can feel the different layers of coloured glass, while the top is speckled and smooth the base looks to have been applied afterwards, on the base there is a pressed stamp which looks like a castle maybe with a key below, there is an etched mark also PA 1998, the vase stands 11.5" tall and weighs 1.25kgs

Not sure what the signature is though, could be on that page mentioned?

PS: ok to put your pics on GlassGallery again Roy?

I'm sure I read somewhere (Ivo?) about a castle motif - I'll have a quick rummage...

Edit: No, I think it must be Max's post
