Title: ID Help for Blue Iridescent Cased Vase...Signed
Post by: Alton11 on July 11, 2013, 10:23:44 PM

Stands about 10 inches tall and weighs a round 3.5 lbs. It is cased and signed on the base. Looks like 'Enright', but I could not find anything. Hope the design and/or signature is recognizable to someone. Thnx for looking.

It looks American to me.  I have a Don Carlson small vase & a Don Richardson small vase - both use Carlson's 4 pontil mark arrangement .  However your vase's irridescence reminds me of theirs.  Richardson by the way worked for Carlson from 1975 to 1995.  I would suggest you email Carlson who has graciously responded to an email from me twice now.

Does it look as if it reads something other than Enwright if you turn it upside-down? It doesn't look the right way up to me.

no way it is signed Carlson or Richardson, and upside down it just looks like gibberish....still looking...

I did not suggest it was signed either Carlson or Richardson - simply that because he has been in the business so long he might recognise the signature - hence the suggestion to email him!

I thought this might help:

A studio in Tucson, Artizona. There is a Dan Enright (could the sig be Dan?) mentioned on this page that appears to work or demonstrate there. He might be a stained glass artist though...

Sorry Ross for not connecting the dots...I think David is spot on. Appears to be a glass artist named Dan Enwright producing glass out of the Philabaum Glass Gallery and Studio. Thnx for the help.
