Hi there and Welcome!

Can you post another bigger pic of the signature?  Try rubbing some white powder over it too as it will help to show the signature better too.

Looks like it says something like;  ??

L then 2 crossed T and then something like EF or EF.............................2005

L__TTEL 2005 or L__TTEF .........or something like that as a guess.

Wow that is a long way from home!  It was born in Byron Bay, the Easternmost place in Australia towards the end of the glass making life of Colin Heaney.  Who stopped several years ago and now designs silk prints, materials and clothes.  I love his work, and have about 15 items, but most of it is iridescent.  If you Google "Colin Heaney Glass" and then look in photos you will find very similar pieces.  I recognize the signature.

HI Ross I just had a look at Colins Heaney's work, he did some really impressive stuff, shame he has moved on to the textiles in a way. Many thanks for taking the time to respond to the post. All the best Pat
