I purchased these two beautiful cobalt blue carnival sheen tumblers at an auction. Has anyone ever heard of the artist?

Thank you

These are lustred, not carnival, I don't think. Carnival glass is (as far as I know) exclusively pressed glass and these are hot worked - so probably Studio Glass.

Where on the planet are you? Often location is a good starting place for a search.

I can't make out the first name with any certainty.

Well with a little more research thanks to your help and a google search I have found out Loren Chapman is a man, and that he does, or did, magnificent art glass many with lusters. He was, at least in 2010 a teacher in glass blowing at the Sawdust Art Festival in Laguna California

Is the US spelling of "lustre" luster? I'm not sure.  :spls:

 :-[  It just looks very odd.
Then I wondered if there might be a different way to spell it for a pair of Lustres - you know, the mantlepiece thingies with dangly bits.
