Title: Blue Glass Pyramid, Signed, Help On An ID
Post by: davidfish1212 on November 29, 2009, 09:06:26 PM: Hi,
Can anyone help with an ID on this bit of glass, I bought it because someone had taken the time to sign it AND the fantastic colour. It is marked Bristol on one side and it looks like Pete Holitt on another side. Any info would be appreciated. It is 3.5" tall and the bottom has been ground down so that it is flat.
Cheers, David

They need to be high resolution, but compressed so that the longest side is about 600 or 700 pixels. Take them high resolution and then resize them in a picture editing programme.

There are two places that make blue glass in Bristol

Post by: KevinH on April 24, 2010, 11:31:31 PM: Hmmm, I don't recall this from its first posting. Perhaps it was in Glass and was moved to Paperweights?

Have you tried contacting the compnaies that Christine linked to earlier?

Post by: davidfish1212 on April 25, 2010, 07:10:47 PM: Hi Kev, Yes on both accounts, I had to ask for it to be moved as I had posted in the wrong place, and yes I did contact both sites with no responce unfortunately, but I will e-mail again with the better pictures and see if I can get anywhere, Cheers, David.
