VSL large cut vase colbalt blue / uranium clear base

<< < (2/3) > >>

paradisetrader:
VSL would be most people's first guess as they were probably the most prolific maker of colour-cut-to-colour.
Even  after heavy editing (crop & increase contrast massively) I still can't make out the letters on the stamp. It does seem to be in an odd script which may be VSL's cursive style.

mhgcgolfclub:
Thanks Pete

Thanks for trying to edit the mark. Someone has said to me could it be the remains of a paper label, I am not sure  I know that I have polished the base to remove any smears several times to try and get a clearer look and the mark seems to be permanent. I will wait until I am home when day light and have another look. If it is a stamp I think it looks like it was not a clean stamp and may have been slightly smudge so to make it difficult to get a clear image

Thanks Roy

chopin-liszt:
The talcum powder or cornflour trick might bring the stamp up a bit better?

paradisetrader:
Remains of a label is perfectly possible. There have been many instances of that reported here over the years.

Examples of labels at
www.great-glass.co.uk/glass%20notes/mark.htm and
www.hogelandshoeve.nl/index75.html

A high resolution image of just the mark itself should give much better results. I know it's tricky as modern cameras seek out something sharp & high contrast to focus on. Try manual focus and or macro, if you have those functions.

Paul S.:
looking at the VSL labels in all of the links provided, it does seem that they all show a drawn image of a cut star in the centre of the label  -  don't know if this helps Roy.
