Title: Vase / paperweight? - ID = Orchard Garden Series 89 by William Walker
Post by: tropdevin on May 31, 2009, 08:28:39 AM

***

I have a Graal vase (maybe a paperweight) which is signed, but I cannot make out the signature.  The design is also inscribed as 'Orchard Garden Series 89', which I guess insicates 1989. It is quite attractive, 4 3/4 inch high, heavy.  Can anyone help with the maker? (Images are clickable for larger versions).

Hi Alan,
It isn't graal technique, although I can see why you might think otherwise.
It is by William Walker.
