Hi All,

My wife and I acquired this large shallow bowl thinking it was by Anthony Wassell but I can confirm it's not. We have a smaller plate by him and the engraved signatures are definitely not the same. On espying the signature we considered if it could be a piece by Peter Layton, though I was unaware he had ever produced similar work, triple cased and cameo cut. I recently received confirmation from the London Glassblowing Workshop the piece is not his.

It's a fine piece of glassmaking, well made and with a well cut, good geometric design. I have seen recently a similar bowl/platter listed on Ebay or another online site, exactly the same colourway, and signature, but with a figurative, 'landscape' design. I am intrigued; two high quality pieces of modern cameo glass but made and signed by whom. If anyone can identify the maker, I would much appreciate it because their name deserves to be known.

I can't help with id right now, but I am wondering if you have permission to show the photos of the piece in Belgium?
We could get into trouble over copyright from this. It is always best, if you want to show something that is in a sale, to post a link to the whole sale. That way, the owner of the images gets a little publicity and we don't get into trouble.
Don't worry about it, we'll get a moderator to remove the images, if you would just please  post a link to the original?
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Earth without art is just eh.
