A picture may help, see http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,6522.0.html for how tos.

How is it marked, acid, sandblasted, label? Picture or sketch of the mark would help.

hello

I asked about the GLS mark on a glass bird
THIS IS MARKED ON A SORT OF PLASTIC LABEL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BIRD
THE 'G' is very big with the'L' in it and then the 'S' smaller in the 'G' near the 'L'
received it from UK
thanks again for an answer
regards
Janine

See above. If you can post a photo of the bird this will help.

Janine, you can always just tell us which completed eBay auction to view, if you want. That way we could see the photo of it.

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

From the name, Pamela, I would say here in NL.

If I know, I'll comment. If I think I know, I'll have a go. If I have no idea, I'll just keep quiet and learn from others, so the next time I'll know.
