Help with signed glass

Hello,

I have two pieces of glass which I cannot identify the signature of. Can anyone help?

Kindest regards,

Wes

Hi Wes,
the birds , i think are Mdina, maybe just a slightly difficult to read signature.
I cant read the other either, looks like Robin something?

Cheers

Hi Andy,

Thank you for your reply. I had a look in Mark Hills Mdina book and there didn't appear to be a signature in it like on the bottom of my glass birds. It seems to start with a 'v'.

Best wishes,

Wes

I rather think Ivo was demonstrating how the lettering which looks like a V is actually an M.
