Hi roy, i'm sure Pip had a signed piece too, but i dont think it looked anything like your's, she may be able to help.

[Pip]

Yes Sue I do but it's a piece of signed and dated (1978) Annette Meech - the signature is completely different from Roy's piece - sorry.

One for Mr Aaronson I think

[Sklounion]

Is it just me, or does that look like PW for the signature??
The FLT possibly refers to Fleur Tookey??

Marcus

  Sorry Roy, completely mis-read the lettering, my fault, rough night.
Disregard the latter comment as irrelevant.
Regards,
Marcus

Hi Marcus thanks for trying to be honest I had not noticed your error with the letters, i had looked through a list of Artists who worked at the Glasshouse but with the signiture I have not a clue

thanks roy

Does anybody know what Pauline Solven's signature look's like?.

Very easily readable and signed in full Pauline Solven. Can't post piccy at moment as camera needs new batteries.

Did we ever get an answer to where this paperweight was made? I have an almost identical one with the words GLASSHOUSE 1987 WHO170427 on the base and an almost identical signature. It also, when you look at it carefully, has a large letter G impressed on the base.
I think they will turn out to be the Seattle GLASSHOUSE Studio, who identify their paperweights with notations like WRA which stands for Weight Round Abstract and WSF - Weight Single Flower. WHO is going to stand for something like Weight something something, and FLT on Roy's original one was probably Flat something something.
I have written to ask the studio if this is one of there's, but maybe somebody here can help.
