Topic: American glass artist, signed "Bar"? Who is/was this?

[kwqd]

This vase is about 6.5" high x 4" widest diameter, snapped pontil, signed "Bar 03" on the bottom. I am not certain that the last letter is "r", but it looks like it to me. Guessing a U.S. glass artist since I found it in the U.S. Has anyone encountered this artist's work before/know who they are?

I suspect a small studio maker.  Not necessarily from the USA as they normally sign at the base of the sides.

Thanks for your comments, Ross. I have a large American studio glass collection, so I checked through it and found most were signed on the bottom, by a factor of almost exactly two to one. I was surprised to find so many signed on the side, though.  I have quite a few unidentified signed pieces, signed both ways.

I agree that it is probably a small studio maker, wherever it was made.
