Was 1930,s opalescent barolac items ever produced with acid etched signatures as i only have pieces that are unsigned or with moulded signature

Mosquito:
Yes, some opal Barolac items were marked with an acid stamp 'Barolac', often seen in combination with a 'Made in Czecho-Slovakia' mark. I have seen the acid mark on barolac palm tree plates and on some of the floral pattern vases.

My "Loss of the Revenge" has an etched BAROLAC on the base rim. I don't have a photo of the sig, but here's the vase.

Mosquito:
Just added a photo of one of my palm tree plates. Sorry about the poor quality but the acid stamp 'Barolac' mark can be made out on the footrim.

Another, less clear mark is also recorded, see the rose vase here: http://www.pressglas-korrespondenz.de/aktuelles/pdf/pk-2004-2w-geisel-schalen-barolac.pdf   It was being offered on ebay some time ago and I identified the vase for the seller. This is the only example of this particular style of mark I have ever seen, however.

Glen:
The one on your Palm tree plate is identical to the one on my vase. Great photo Steven. I described mine as etched, but your "acid stamp" is right on.
