Hi welcome to the board
Could you please upload your images directly here otherwise images tend to disappear making this thread useless for future searchers, also your links are rather strange looking and many (myself included) wont click an odd looking link from a new poster.

There is a guide to resizing images here https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,34093.0.html

Hi there,

On the bais of your images, I can think of two possibilities: modern Chinese or Daum (France); the later is only an outside chance. A few decades ago, they did paperweights and some looked a bit like this.If it is Daum, the weight should be marked Daum somewhere on the weight though.

Hi Yager,

1. Technical stuff
Please note that, with my moderaor hat on, I have tidied up your original post. IMG tags do not operate in this Board - they just display spaces. Your list of simple URLs omiitted two entries from the IMG tag versions so I have added those to the top of your url list. Also, I have placed the url for the photo of the signature / date at the top of the list to make it easier for viewers to check that image.

2. Suggested ID
Sophie may be correct in her comments, but I would suggest that the signature could be for Glass Eye Studio, with a date of '95. On their website they show current lists of paperweights and the design for the "Celestial" series may suggest that your weight is an earlier version of that idea. Send them an email and image and ask them.

3. Adding images to a thread
As Nick says, many folk will not use direct url links. If you are unable to reduce your images to fit Board limits for Kb size, I would be happy to make copies of your images and do the editing for you, then add the images directly to the thread.

Sorry folks, my mistake. I found it impossible to open some of the images and so did not see the ones with the signature. Yes, this is not a Daum signature at all.
I am sure Kevin and Christine are right with regard to the Glass Eye Studio suggestion.
