A wild Guess here but Paul J. W. Kemp ??  he made paperweights, but just a guess ??
http://www.great-glass.co.uk/glass%20notes/britsk-m.htm  Scroll down to the name Paul J. W Kemp.  I guess he could go by P.J. Kemp too.........Is there any silver or gold leaf in it -- I can not tell ??  Not sure what his signature looks like -- so just a guess  As I am also not sure where you live -- so (your location) might help in the process of where to start first looking.

??  This is just a guess....

I am pretty sure what I stated before here, is who it is.  The more I look at it --it seems like it is ....but I am not ?? 100 % sure.

You could also try this tip I have suggested  http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,32515.0.html  as it has also helped others get even a closer shot.  But I am thinking and  :X: that it is Paul J.W Kemp.

I think you're right, antiquerose. The first letter I picked out was the K. If it is not Kemp, it is probably something very close.

I agree, Rose.  The first time I looked at the signature, Kemp came to mind.  I never took it any further.  Even if it isn't Kemp, great sleuthing!

I'm not clever -- just (finally) lucked out.  Glad to see you used that magnifying trick, and the Pencil rub, it really helped  :thup:



Just out of curiosity.....on that link below from *Great-Glass* it says his whereabouts are Unknown at this time -- Does this make this piece any *Rarer*?  I mean HE is listed there, he did make PW, but now he is not known where he is -- so might his *glass working time* be short, and makes this a bit more $$ ?   Not sure -- thought I would ask...
