Title: More etched info that I can't solve.
Post by: westred on January 03, 2009, 08:03:56 PM

Yea, me again,

  I have one more very nice and different PW that I purchased at a thrift store, but cannot figure out
who made it or where it came from.  All the info is on the bottom of the PW, as shown in the photos.
I looks like it came from a specific studio, as it says, but I can't make out which one or the signature.
Maybe someone can help me, who either has one like it or is more experienced with this.

  When I place this PW on a light pedestal, it almost makes a holographic image in the top half of it!
It looks like an angel or a body, for sure.  It is very interesting!  Not sure if they intended this or not,
but in the middle of the fountain like array, there is almost a mirror like inset.  What ever the case,
it is one of my favorite PW's for the effect displayed when placed on a running light pedestal.  And
I only had to give $14 for it.

Could in be a Vine's Studio piece?

Some artists must be related to doctors with the way they write.  ;D

Hi there

The script signature appears to be two words the second being "studio".

I dont think it can be Vines Studio (Roger Vines) as their PW's were signed with three words - "Vines Art Glass"

Best regards

Derek

I got out my Vines paperweight. The writing is completely different.

Mine is signed MSH ash Vines 89. I don't know if he incorporated Mount St Helen's ash in all of his weights but he did in mine.

My first thought was that this weight has an Eickholt look to it (iridescent, opalescent), however, the signature doesn't even remotely look like Eickholt. ::)  Then I thought Milropa but am not sure if egg-shaped weights are in their repertoire.
