Title: Glass Paperweight, SIGNED ?????
Post by: antiquerose123 on April 02, 2014, 12:48:38 AM: Hi there:

Just found this today. I am assuming it might be Chinese (??) or Studio Glass as the bottom is NOT polished. Bottom More like Chinese weights. IS studio glass bottom done sometimes like this too? Has anyone seen where a notch was made in the bottom for a Signature??

BUT what gets me is there is a place where it is notched out and there is a Signature there. Can't figure it out....and not sure IF the first letter is an *M* or a *N*. I think I got a pretty good PIC of the Signature but still can't figure it out!!

Any idea? Height is about 2.75 inches tall. Thanks for any help!!
