Carol you need to resize your photos to be nearer 125Kb which will be approximately 500x500.  They will then blow-up so we oldies with failing eyesight can possibly read the label.

Probably wrong but I seem to remember a SANYU label I saw somewhere.  Any chance that is what yours reads?

At 400% screen magnification it certainly looks like SANYO to me - with the "S" being part worn and the "O" having its right side chopped offf with the loss of the edge of the label.

Edited to add ... being a moderator here does not mean I can read or spell well.  :)

Dear Kevin and Ross- apologies for the label size I did take a LOT of pictures of it and that one was the best. So Sanyo is the lead contender eh- Many thanks for your expertise. regards from a freezing but sunny New Zealand- Carol

Yes it is the Sanyu label :) I believe it is the earlier label as well. So from around 1968 onwards. Lovely piece of glass carol. I have forgotten the chief designers name from around that time but will look it up for you once my hangover disappears LOL...

I have some limited information :)

From 1969 to 1979 Chiyogi Asahara work at Sanyu Glass. There is also a book about his glass out there but I have not been able to locate a copy.

Also, Kunitaro Uchida began studying at Sanyu from 1968.

From 1972 a Katsuhiro Kageyama joined the company.

I am not able to tell who may done the piece though :( But in the future I may be able to as I am gathering contact details for these glass artists.

Hopefully soon I will be able to detail Sanyu Glass Company a bit better for everyone :)
