Right now there is a paperweight on ebay (221001988110 (http://cgi.ebay.ch/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221001988110)) signed "Nemunas" (without image of the signature).
A very similar weight was on Ricardo (670720838 (https://www.ricardo.ch/kaufen/haushalt-und-wohnen/dekorationen-und-accessoires/sonstiges/glaskugel-vulkan/v/an670720838/)) signed "Wemuwas" - but seller is not sure (again without image of the signature).
A completely different weight from Nemunas is offered on dawanda (http://de.dawanda.com/product/18154961-Ei-aus-mundgeblasenem-Glas-mit-blauer-Spirale) (again without image of the signature).
freeshop-web (http://www.freeshop-web.de/shopserver/shops/s002069/?go=artikel&ps=16949&subid=17432&los=9) mentions Nemunas in connection with Remi Glass (Remigijus Kriukas in Lithuania) ... (again without image of the signature).
Now - Nemunas is the Lithuanian name of a river (German = Memel) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neman_River) - so a connection to Lithuania makes sense. But ... I don't find any mention of Nemunas on the Remi Glass web site (although I have problems with their Lithuanian web page - their English pages seem to be gone).
Does anyone have any info on Nemunas Art Glass ?
