Topic: Star shaped Glass Dish with Signature-Any idea maker etc please

[booklands]

Can anyone identify the maker and country of this glass piece please? It is signed on the base as shown and also I have a photo of the artist's signature on the side which looks like j.lee?
Many thanks for any info please.

Welcome to GMB.

There is a Jason Lee who produces art glass (google it - mainly glass pipes), but his work appears to be very ornate.

The other name looks like Charles.

Thanks David. Looked at j.lee's work which is quite distinctive and not really in this style unless he had an off day - but thanks very much for the suggestion. I can't really make out the other name on the base.
Hope someone else can come up with a suggestion?
Regards

I agree the style is way different, but it doesn't mean he didn't make it. Must be worth dropping him an e-mail to check?

Indentification resolved. Would you believe, I have just acquired another glass item which is a cat and it has the same signature and name on the base but also a label identifying it as from Colle di Val d'Elsa, Toscana, Italy and from the Crystal glass Vilca factory. What a coincidence!!
Thanks David for your imput and for all the others that have looked. I hope this helps others.
