Can you I'd this mark on my blue glass paper weight.

Looks like the mark of Island Glass, Guernsey, to me but there are usually three rabbits and yours only has two - or is there one not showing in this picture ?

Thanks for reply yes I can see them now there only two . Does this mean anything .

[daveweight]

I do not think it means anything - if it is Island Glass they use an iron with a design set in the end and press this into the base of the weight while it is still hot so maybe they did not press hard enough and only two of the three rabbits came out - but lets see what others think

Rabbits are a new interpretation - I see "three men in a boat", I have heard they are "3 lions".
It would help a great deal to be able to see the weight the mark is on. Perhaps somebody might recognise the style.

Loads of techie help and tips here on how to resize and upload. You just need to find the right instructions for the systems you personally use.

These, I believe are Lions, and if there are three ( one not being properly pressed into the glass)  then it will be Guernsey Island Glass, and represents this Guernsey Coat of arms:

If there are only two Lions,  then it could be The island of Sark, whose Coat of Arms depicts two Lions, but I am not at all certain that Sark Glass use a pressed mark,  all my pieces are hand Etched 'Sark Glass'.
