This is clear glass approx. 5.75" tall, has lumps bumps free form, is signed on bottom but can't make out the signature or get a very good picture of it....I'm hoping someone might recognize the design...it has an etched signature with a circle int he middle and the number 12 under the circle....I see a couple of "V" in the name Von may be in it, last name may start with an V.

Hello - regret can't help with an id.............unfortunately, this rather lurid turquoise is unhelpful when it comes to seeing clearly the details of your glass, and would suggest that it helps to have a quieter background - especially for clear glass - such as charcoal or grey.
Nonetheless, someone may still recognize this design and be able to help.
As an off the cuff thought it looks more like a small vase rather than a drinking glass :)

sorry about the "lurid" towel...what can I say I'm a colorful person and so are most of my towels....I'll try to take a pic on something more bland...thanks for the help
-
more pics on a white background...really no help on seeing the signature
-
much better shot of signature on black background

The distorted glass behind the signature makes it very hard to distinguish. I find the best method is to take a very shallow angle shot so the base reflects light but the 'writing' appears dark. See two shots of the same base that show the idea.

Scandinavian glass, signed Gunnel Sahlim? Can't make out all the numbers though. :)
-
thanks I will try the different angle...to the other poster...the Kosta Boda is just an example for the camera angle...the glass that needs ID are the previous pictures...thanks!
-
a better angle hopefully...

P Turner, P Tina? I've tried googling various words but to know avail. It's rather strange that one should put the signature around the pontil area, don't you think? There is the possibility that the signature could have been done by the owner rather than the maker. I just can't read the signature, especially the last letters. I don't know if this will be of any help, but can you take a picture of the drinking glass the right way up on a black background preferably in natural lighting? Sorry I can't be of any further help,but good luck in your search. :)
-
If you put the signature there it is not going to destroyed by wear and tear which will occur on the outer edges.

I don't recall signatures around pontil areas Ross, but now that you have mentioned that, it certainly does make sense. :)

It is a very common place to sign for Australian art glass.

Where did you find the glass Bluefairy68? Sometimes it can help to narrow down the possibilities.

Hi I found the glass in Fort Myers FL USA
-
I would concentrate on American rather than European studio makers first, which given the numbers is not very much narrowing...
