Title: Another ID Request - signed paperweight
Post by: paperweights on June 15, 2013, 02:57:46 AM

Here is another one.  The style is less distinctive, but I'm hoping someone will recognize the signature.  It is signed with a single name, the year 2000, and a copyright symbol.  The weight is large (just under 4" at the widest) and irregular in shape. 

Thanks in advance

I am wondering if it came from "Burchetta Glass" whose site is on Google.  There present range of pwts is nothing like it, but it was made 13 years ago.  Perhaps an email would confirm if you think the signature close enough.

Ross (ahremck) had the correct ID.  John Burchetta confirmed that the paperweight was made at Burchetta Glass in Wilmington, NC.  Thank you.
