Help ID signed bumpy lumpy clear art glass drinking glass?
« on: November 09, 2013, 03:38:05 PM »
This is clear glass approx. 5.75" tall, has lumps bumps free form, is signed on bottom but can't make out the signature or get a very good picture of it....I'm hoping someone might recognize the design...it has an etched signature with a circle int he middle and the number 12 under the circle....I see a couple of "V" in the name Von may be in it, last name may start with an V.

Hello  -  regret can't help with an id.............unfortunately, this rather lurid turquoise is unhelpful when it comes to seeing clearly the details of your glass, and would suggest that it helps to have a quieter background - especially for clear glass -  such as charcoal or grey.
Nonetheless, someone may still recognize this design and be able to help.

As an off the cuff thought it looks more like a small vase rather than a drinking glass :)

The distorted glass behind the signature makes it very hard to distinguish.  I find the best method is to take a very shallow angle shot so the base reflects light but the 'writing' appears dark.  See two shots of the same base that show the idea.
