Topic: Iridescent vase - signed

[heartofsklo]

The vase measures 11cm tall and is a smokey grey with light blue spatters. The base is etched signed  as per images 2, there is also what looks like "SPACS" (or SPACE) and the date "1985".

Could we get a couple more shots of the signature, for some variations to *what* we may think we see...

Thanks  :kissy:

Does it say Shaks, if so it's Will Shakspeare http://www.shakspeareglass.co.uk/

Thanks for sharing that link Christine.

The vase above appears to have a date of 1985. Has Shaks been going that long? I looked on the website and there is no 'history' wage and the copyright date is 2005.

Definitely does not look like "Shaks" when I look at it under a glass. Looks more like "space". The only connection between 1985 and space I can find is the following - In 1985 the "space" shuttle Atlantis (OV-104) made its first flight. I know, clutching at straws is a game I play often when it comes to my glass IDs.

... and the vase doesn't look much like the other Shakspeare glass on the website
