Title: Illegible signature
Post by: nikkijayne on June 13, 2013, 04:21:20 PM

I recently bought a job lot of paperweights at auction and I just cannot make out the signature on the bottom of one. Any ideas?

It weighs 38 grams, is 6.5cm tall and the base diameter is 3.6cm.

Signature: http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t619/NikkiJayne28/IMG_1320_zps2d230fd1.jpg (http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t619/NikkiJayne28/IMG_1320_zps2d230fd1.jpg)

Hi and welcome. :)
To put my pedantic hat on, (apologies) your weight is "marked with the factory name - it's not "signed"
Signed is taken to mean the actual signature of the artist who made it.
