isleofwight collector:
Hi - I bought this lovely vase about 5 years ago @ a car boot, it has always been one of my favorites but I'm unsure of the maker & age.

I have tried to include 2 close up pictures of the signature, it is signed to the side of the vase rather than underneath.
It has a beautiful irridescent shine with white feathering and almost petrol blue stipes.

I think the signature is something like Skodkini or Skodkim??

TxSilver:
Skookum -- now known as Robert Held Art Glass of Canada. This is the first time I've seen the old signature, so thanks for showing.

Bernard C:
Interesting to compare with the work of Edward Clark, see here.

Thanks both for all your help, I actually have a few other pieces of Robert Held glass but they are signed Robert Held.
Can anyone tell me what dates they used Skookum signature and when it changed to Robert Held??

Regards Carol

TxSilver:
Robert Held mentions that he opened Skookum in 1978 at http://www.robertheld.com/company_history.html. From what's written he opened RHAG when he moved to Vancouver 26 years ago. If his writing is recent, that would make it around 1984.

If you put Skookum glass into Google you can find scraps of information about RH.
