Does anyone recognise the signature on a huge contemporary hand blown coiled candlestick please?  It looks like Ben Dunin***  :huh: and dated '75.
Many thanks  :)

Dates seem to be later though, could your 75 be a poorly written 95? This Ben seems to have been a glassmaker at The Glasshouse in London, showed work in a 2008 exhibition: http://www.caa.org.uk/exhibitions/archive/2008/glasshouse.html

 :hiclp: :hiclp:  awww, you just beat me.  I had been trying both Bob, and Ben...then Duningham, then Duhingham, and also then found Dunington.

See -- your the Best.  I had to try a zillion words...

yeah -- I think it looks like 95, not 75.....too...maybe... :thup:
