Small, layered, dichroic(?) pyramid - can't read the signature

« on: August 18, 2022, 08:50:57 AM »

Morning all.

I found this little glass pyramid in a box of 50p junk at a car boot last week. To my untrained eye, I "think" it looks like it's layers of dichroic glass - bottom 5 being dark, gunmetal blue, remaining 18 are gold. It's only tiny, just 6.5cm high, and not really heavy enough to be a paperweight, but very pretty. Base is signed, W-99, and Bla..... but I can't make out the rest. I'm also struggling to imagine how this would have been made. Any thoughts? TIA, Steve
