Title: Signature Confirmation Required.........Possible Peter Layton.......?
Post by: Greg. on November 12, 2010, 03:11:37 PM

Hi All,

Hoping someone could help decipher the signature on these weights. Looks very similar indeed to Peter Layton's signature, however, would like further confirmation.

Also, I haven't come across any similar pieces produced by Peter Layton before. I suppose they could be end of day pieces or just one offs, (if indeed they are by Peter Layton).

All thoughts appreciated.

Thanks - Greg

The Layton part of his signature always looks like Taylor to me. ::)

That signature in Glassgallery is on one of a couple of bits my father has, probably this one: http://picasaweb.google.com/Johnmj100/StudioGlass#5440799868578936370

I know what you mean, his signature does look a bit like Taylor. There's some rather nice pieces of studio glass there john your fathers a lucky man.
