Recently acquired these two signed pieces, can some one help identify them please?

Hi and welcome to the board!

I cannot see the signature properly; they remind me of pieces by Adam Jablonski (Poland), but from what I can see his signature looks different...

Thanks guys, I thought the same about Adam Jablonski Michael, very different signature.
I Google svaja Chris I can see the similarity although  my pieces are considerably larger at
8inch high and 11.5inch high, I might have to look into them a bit further.
Thanks

Here are just a few of their glass bits: http://www.svaja.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=91

You could contact them and ask who actually makes them. Can't help with the signature, a better photo of it might help.

Thanks John, Yes I agree completely with you. Thats one puzzle solved now just the signature to decipher. I have added another pic hopefully its a little clearer.
I have also emailed Svaja and I am currently waiting for a reply

A signature or mark on glass can be enhanced for photography by dusting a little talcum powder over the mark, then clearing what hasn't lodged in the marks with your thumb.
