Would it be possible to show up the signature a little better by rubbing some talcum powder into it so that we can see it more clearly? :)

Great that Ross has given you the maker stew2u2,  but could you still show it with talc on it so that we can all see it clearly and be able to learn and recognise to help others for future requests. 
I am really trying hard to recognise signatures now as part of my learning more about glass makers. Thank you :)

Yep, that helps a lot.  L. Lovell seems correct, just as Ross said. :)
