Yes, it says, 1980. For once, I find the thumbnail images better than the larger ones for reading that date!

It can take a glassmaker a little while to get used to using a tool to make a signature. 
I have an early piece by Steven Foster, bought from the shelves at Broadfield House after I'd spent a lovely afternoon watching him and Ian MacDonald working.
He had a lot of trouble with it and his S came out like a "J"; Foster came out reading "Foetar".
A couple of years later, Ian was signing a piece I was buying from him at a fair - and he had even more trouble getting a mark made. The tool kept slipping and his writing went all spidery.
I know his signature is there, I still have trouble even finding it.
I'm fairly sure (now  ) that I've seen pretty primitive productions of "J Ditchfield" before too.
