Hi-
Can anyone help identify this artist?  The piece came from a high-end glass collector's estate, so it is likely a quality piece, but I can not make out the laser-etched signature for the life of me.  "B"-something.  :P 
The piece is very unusual, with a textured, faceted finish that you can feel... it almost looks like a honeycomb, turtle shell, or maybe butatto? 
Any info would be very much appreciated!

Could be Bon?  That is a reputable Murano maker doing replicas (and almost replicas) of old glass
