Hi
I recently bought this mushroom on ebay. It was described as a paperweight
http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-4799
However now I am stumped by the signature:
http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-4798
"Meline" is what it looks like to me. I am sure I have seen it somewhere before. Any ideas anybody.
Thanks for the help
KarelM
Ps: Not sure if this should have been in the general glass forum as it is not a paperweight in the traditional sense.

Hi! Looks like Mdina to me!

It does say Mdina, Doris. Spot on. :D
-
Solid Mdina - no problem ;)
Can also add that it can be classed as a paperweight Karelm in the syle known as 'PIEDOUCHE'
Regards, ;D

Yep defo Mdina :)
-
That's also a lovely clear picture of the Mdina signature, great photo
-
IDIOT ;D
..and I'm going to make it worse...I thought of Mdina .... but being and IDIOT I thought of Medina and as there is no "e" or if there is there is no "d"...
Kind regards,
Village Idiot

I think it's the way the loop of the d is away from back makeing it look like an o -L , i have seen the signature written on some web sites as MOLINO?
-
Lots of eBay sellers are challenged by clearly printed labels too :)
-
What printed labels could be a chalenge...he said trying to divert attention from himself
The fact is I have a lovely PIEDOUCHE (thanks argonite) style weight in my collection... recon that weird word will be worth a couple of $$$ on ebay ;D ;D ;D
