Keith:
For the first time someone's put on a piece of glass that looks like something I might have done. They are awful. I almost hope that history is kind enough to draw a curtain in front of the maker's name.

Almost good luck in finding out more.

Thanks for the reply David,don't you think the head on the smaller one is exceptionally crafted and the body of the other looks like it was trodden on whilst the glass was still pliable?I don't think I will spend much time,if any,finding out who was responsible,Keith.

I thought the one on the right had taken a trip to the guillotine.

I think the person responsible should have been given a date with 'Madam Guillotine'

Perhaps they were first attempts by a novice glassmaker?
