Topic: Hi Is this signed glass a Venetian maker Please? ID = Pasabahce, Turkey

[chriss]

Hi I have 3 pieces of clear with vibrant blue and white swirls (filigrana?) have been added to the glass. Each piece is etched to the base, but I really can't work out what it says, the 2nd image is the clearest of the 3 signatures, really sorry it's a naff shot but it was the best my replacement camera could get :/ There are no other marks or signatures but there are numerous shelf wear marks to the base so they have some age. Does anyone know anything about the maker or origins please? Thanks for your help.  Chris

I can't see the etched mark very well but have seen very similar from Pasabahce, Turkey.

The piece on the left is a waterpipe base. NICE to see a set of three - these are desirable pieces.
