Keith can you take photo of the base in natural light so the light bounces off the flat base - and appears "white" and the signatures appear black.  That way the refraction and colours are not apparent and you can get a good result.  I have attached a couple of examples where the problem oof distraction from colours and refraction was removed by using the bouncing light.

which comes up on Google.  Maybe it will be helpful if not.

Thanks Ross,I did see the link but when I google Suffolk Glass all I find is a window and commercial site and nothing on David Brett,you would not believe how many times I've tried to photograph the base of this weight,these are the best I could do,bouncing the light does not seem to work with this piece :hb2:
