It would help if we knew where you lived (country) and where it was bought/acquired.

I really like the vase itself - lovely colour.

Post by: flying free on April 08, 2011, 03:07:47 PM: I think the whole thing says Bob Crooks First Glass - if you search on this GMB board using the search button above left (next to rules) you may find other signatures for this to compare.

Post by: chopin-liszt on April 08, 2011, 03:53:24 PM: I'd agree completely the sig. reads Bob Crooks First Glass, from the second image. :rah:
This more than makes up for the slight disappointment of a couple of contemporary Chinese pieces (even though they're very nice) and an unidentifiable cut-to-clear red goblet. :smg:
