Title: Skruf mark
Post by: CathyG on October 07, 2007, 07:33:30 PM

Hello Everyone!

Did Skruf every mark their glass with a stamp in the glass on the bottom? If so, when would they have made it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cathy

Thanks, I saw that but the one I've seen is like the mark was done in a blob of glass on the bottom. Anyone know if they did that kind of making?

Affirmative, the alchemist sign for glass done in a prunt is known for Skruf.
