Title: Looking to ID a signed glass bowl, ideas please
Post by: NickClaret on July 06, 2012, 01:46:08 PM

Hello, I have this bowl but cannot identify the signature, so I am hoping someone can :) Apologies for the image, but it's quite difficult to capture on camera. The piece is dated '90. Any help appreciated - even the likely source of origin etc.

Hello NickClaret,  welcome to the Glass Message Board.

A little tip to help you with the clarity of your picture of the signature... I have always found that it helps to rub a little talcum powder into the writing.  It gets caught in the rough texture and can dramatically alter the look so that it is clearer to see.  It will wash off easily and will not harm your glass.

Also, if possible if you can upload your pictures directly to the thread rather than through a link, it means that they will always be here for reference, and be of help to others in the future, whereas photobucket and Tinypic often just vanish, leaving the thread meaningless.
