Hello, I bought this recently from a charity shop - it is smoky amethyst glass (clearer at the bottom then getting darker to the top), and it has hand-cut Picasso style faces all around. When viewed from the side the single eyed faces combine to become a complete face, but only from certain angles. It is signed to the base but I just cant make it out.
This is a big piece of glass - 11" wide, 8" tall and weighing just under 3kg; the base is only 3" wide. The pontil mark is deep and quite rough. Can anyone read the signature? I think this is a fabulous thing, and I'd love to know more - thanks!
