Moved here from another thread: Leni teasing again :wink:
Sooooooo.................shiny smooth good, matt smooth bad! Hey! I'm learning! :roll: :D
:x Noooooo! :x
Bad girl, Max! :twisted: that's just the sort of thing I'm 'agin' :wink:
As an example, how about this base? http://tinypic.com/akuc1l.jpg
Any guesses? Well, it's matt smooth, so it must be Chinese, eh? :wink:
Certainly the base would indicate that it's something cheap and mass-produced, don't you think?
Wait & see! :wink: :lol:
And here it is revealed! http://tinypic.com/akvh3n.jpg and the signature, if you can read it: http://tinypic.com/akvdhj.jpg
ID, anyone? :wink:

That should be Mr Layton..... the real signature is in the landscape glass itself...... Why no emoticon for fingers crossed :roll:

Gareth got it right - and I suspect Max knows, too :wink:
The inscrutable Mr Peter Layton was responsible - see here http://www.londonglassblowing.co.uk/frameset.html under 'Glass designed by...' and 'Landscape'.
And I told Peter about the 'Chinese' ID for all weights with matt bases, so he signed and dated his 'Landscape' weight for me :lol:
