Title: Turnmill Studio weight? Id help please.
Post by: chopin-liszt on March 02, 2019, 03:38:43 PM

I'm posting for a member who thinks this is Turnmill and sent me images for resizing. If it's not Turnmill, what studio in London could it be?

Hi

I hope I have mastered the down sizing of pictures and a big thank you to Sue for your help yesterday.

I was just wondering if the signature was Ed Burke or M Burke ? Any ideas ?  ???

Thank you and I hope these pictures work alright !

Ed and Margaret Burke are not in London, and that's not how they sign their work. They use their initials.
It says "something" Studio London 1987.

Thanks Sue it was just a thought, hopefully someone on this site will recognize the writing. I have another paperweight that is marked Turnmill Studio which looks so similar to this one. Another one I have is just marked Turnmill with no signature.

Do you know who the glassblowers were around the late 1980's at Turnmill. ?

Thank you
Louise

All I know is that Turnmill was where our very own Adam Aaronson worked, at one time.  :)

He's a very busy man and he doesn't come along every day. Have a little patience. I'm sure he will find it.

Looks a bit like it might read Glasseye Studio but I am far from certain...

Is that not located near the American volcano that erupted, rather in London?
I seem to remember they put bits of eruption into pwts.  ???

I know, just trying to make sense of it. There may not be enough letters to make glasseye anyway. Perhaps one of those that becomes obvious once deciphered!

I've been doing some research this morning and came across Peter Layton's Reef range where the colours look vaguely similar...London glassblowing maybe...? ???

This is either a well traveled paperweight, or there are a few around.  One sold on eBay in February (Glasgow), again in April (Devon) and now there is a listing for one (Milton Keynes)...... But still no actual ID for maker.
