Just bought a lovely vase - much larger than my original - c.15cms tall and 13cms across. Thought you might like to see the photos. I assume the PSG 1112 on the markings means Paraison Studio Glass item #1112.

Ross, that's a stunning piece, I can see why you purchased it. I presume it would date from some time in the mid 80's..?
I came across this AUSGLASS newsletter from 1982 on the web the other day, I've attached a link below, the letter is in PDF format. It mentions briefly Peter Goss and also the workshop grant Goss received from the Crafts Board of the Australia Council, which was used to develop the Paraison Glass Studio in around 1981.
Doesn't contain a tremendous amount of detail, however very interesting to read nevertheless.

Hi I have a Peter goss small vase dated Peter Goss 71 with a scroll under his name found being used for a pen holder, can you help with any information and value, no chips or damage and the colour a little more vibrant than picture 3inches high thanks
brewster:
Hi Backyardhabitat and welcome. That is a nice Peter Goss piece, showing clearly the influence of Sam Herman. The scroll under the name is common on his earlier pieces. See the fourth photo in reply #10 by Ross. The piece from 1977 in the second photo of my Reply #5 also has the same scroll under the signature.
The date on yours will not be 1971 because that is before Peter Goss started in glass. At that time he was still serving with the Royal Marines. It could well be 1977 or 1981, and I think the former is more likely. The marking in your photo is too indistinct on the screen to be sure. If it is 1977 it will be a more desirable piece, because it will have been made at the Jam Factory in Adelaide under the direct influence of Sam Herman.
Value? Whatever someone will pay for it. It is small but a nice illustration of its context. At auction, maybe up to $100 in Australia, less elsewhere.
Thank you for sharing. Any chance of clearer photos?
