A beautifully made little fish but I am clueless about it. It's 2½ inches tall (6.5cm) and signed on the base. Anyone recognise the signature or the style?

Come on John put the bottle away and show us the signature .

I'm trying JP but I mucked up the file sizes....
;D
-
It's beautiful... I especially like the back part. :hi:
-
It's lovely isn't it, a very fluid shape, the maker has really captured something.
-
looks like my doctor's sig :24:
-
Yes John i heard you are trying . ;) Very nice fish .
-
looks like my doctor's sig :24:
lol....Looks like a *J* at the first ---- almost like J. CASH, but that is a Singer (Johnny Cash). :24: :24:
So ????????? just saying looks like a *J* in the front -- my suggestion :thud: Or maybe it says " J. CORAL " as a guess ???

What a lovely little fish! I have no clue who made it but I just wanted to say it is just lovely.

Story of my life JP!
I have to agree Tam, as to the actual signature Rose I have been wondering if there are two or three letters on top of each other at the start, maybe a J or a G with a C or a Q and I reckon the end squiggle could have several characters after the H or L or whatever it might be......
You know how it is, it will appear obvious once we have the answer. ;D

I rather suspect this little fish has had a long swim. Almost certain it is by James Dodson in Tasmania, Australia.

Thought I had a bit by him with signature - but I don't - didn't like the man so I didn't buy after all. Don't beleive the publicity about the ONLY hot glass studio - Richard Clements has been working for at least 8 years longer and still is. He does not currently make fish it seems but his frogs and birds are excellent.

Well spotted Ross that is fantastic! :hiclp:
If you choose gallery then hover the mouse over Figurines and then choose reef fish you see a few more in this design: http://www.tasglassblowers.com.au/jdmg.html
I was not expecting this to be so quick. :rah:

Oh Poo!! I saw this thread when you first posted it John, and wanted to say....'looks Australian to me' but had nothing to hang my hunch on, so just kept a watch on it......wish I spoken up!! :thud:
I don't collect fish......it would mean another 600 pieces to find a space for, but I have to say this is a lovely simple piece that speaks volumes without being fussy in design.....just the type of glass I like.
I have to hand it to you Ross.......I'm impressed, I expect there is some advantage in being in the actual country! :usd:
-
I now have 2 of his pieces, the Yellow Throated Honey Eater and the Eastern Rosella. Both signed and one with the label on , the other with its original box and inner leaflet. They are very pretty and look lovely in the cabinet... sorry Ross, I do like them. :)

Here are a couple of little pals, rescued from a local collectables shop. The signature actually says "JA Dodson" as can be seen more clearly in these examples (one from the leading fish and the other from a platter, earlier and uncramped enough to permit better handwriting).
