Title: Base mark
Post by: Dave the Glass on August 03, 2008, 03:23:32 PM

Got this last weekend the person selling said it was from Malta but i do not recognise the base marks. it looks a bit like 3 &'s on top of 3 Pi symbols. Could be Chinese?

Looks like a good Guernsey Glass piece. So mark should be 3 lions. Search on board for examples of mark.

Hi Dave,
Check on Ebay, there are a few similar vases listed at the moment. They look quite promising, value wise.
