Topic: Pink and White Paperweight wih impressed mark. ID = Uredale

[petet63]

Can you help me identify this Paperweight. Around 9cm in Height. It has a mark impressed into the base. I have taken an impression of the mark. Really good clarity to the clear glass. No help but worth a mention

heehee, I'm getting in before Christine! 
You've got the mark absolutely correct, that is a wonderful representation of it, but upside-down. It's a man with a blowpipe with a blob of glass on the end, and it's Uredale Glass.

Thanks Chopin-liszt. I just couldn't make it out

He's leaning back a bit, holding the blowing iron out. 

(I've seen a line drawing of the logo, I do have a slight advantage.)

I have just got hold of a few paperweights from the loft to list and there is a Uredale Glass Paperweight with a little sticker in my handwriting saying Uredale Glass !!! I know my memory is bad but I think I have a Problem

Christine taught me to recognise Uredale Glass,  and it took a lot of getting through
My memory's going too - I find team work, getting together with other folk who might remember better than me, helps a lot.
Sometimes they remember the things I don't; while I remember some of the things they don't.
Lists are good, but only if you can remember where you've put them. 
It also helps if two folk who are a bit wobbly get together and prop each other up to prevent each other getting blown away by strong winds or tripping over bad pavements.

I had an Uredale glass for many years which I sold recently, yes thats what it is. I retained it for many years in my cabinet because it reminded me that I was sold it as victorian because it had a pontil ( only £25), I enjoyed the mistake!!!!!   I learned a bit in 20 years.
