Title: two pieces with the same signature, sorted: Island Glass Guernsey
Post by: josordoni on April 05, 2007, 04:58:03 PM

I despair of myself...

TWO pieces of glass, different things, one vase, one paperweight, one moulded mark.  Can I read it?

What do you think???

I'm not even sure I have it the right way up.

The paperweight photo of the sig is probably the clearer, sometimes I think it might be Hebrew or Japanese....

Well any help is welcome. Thanks in advance.

Sorted.  I am informed this is the three rabbits of Island Glass Guernsey. 

So that is what those Japanese characters are then....

Phew, Lynne, I'll take your word for it!  There's no way I can make that out as rabbits either!  ::)

Lynne,

1. Turn your image of the paperweight mark 90 degrees to the right.

2. For "Rabbits", read "Lions".

3. Take a look at this archived message (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,1276.0.html) and scroll down to see the real detail of the logo.

For other comments on this logo, search the board for "guernsey lions".

Thank you Kevin!  I could find Guernsey Island glass mentioned on some sites but not here... I put Island Glass in the search and nothing came up!  I must have done something wrong.

And I couldn't find any backstamps pictured, so went by something I was told  ::) (yes, I believe all the papers and the TV as well.....).  But the clincher for me was finding an identical vase even though I couldn't see the backstamp on that either.

So, we have Lions!  I think rabbits are cuter for Easter , but .....

 ;D ;D ;D
