Title: Second hand shop find. ID = Sean O'Donoghue, Australia
Post by: Carien on May 15, 2017, 10:38:11 PM: Hi there, I hope somebody can help me finding the artist who made my little vase. It messures 20 cm high and it's colours are fantastic! Searching the net I found it could have been rolled in copper oxide when it was still hot to get those colours. Is that the technique used? On the bottom there is ingraved: 97 and a name which I can't read. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Carien

Use 'Search' at the top of the page to find them. His signature varies a bit, but you will find some close matches. You might also try the incorrect spelling "O'Donohue".
