ID sculpture

ttttootall:
Bought in North Carolina.
Can anyone make out this signature.
Sculpture stands a little over a foot.

chopin-liszt:
Could we see an image of the actual piece, please?

The green "glow" you have in uv light there is not uranium, but manganese.

ttttootall:
Here are more pictures. This piece is difficult to get good pics because it picks up any light around it. Sorry this is the best I can do. :'(

ttttootall:
Also, had to look up the word (manganese) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manganese...I love new words and this was a very interesting one.
Is it  used often in the production of art glass?

chopin-liszt:
It can be used as a "decolourant" in clear glass. (I can't remember what "contaminant colour" it corrects :-[ )

Are there yellowy and bluey colours in the sculpture itself? or is it all clear?
