Can you help me identify the artist? Ron Wood 06-10-2008

Hi Group

I am trying to shed some light on the artist who created this lovely piece
and what it is called.

The colours in my photos are fairly close.

There are some hand engraved inscriptions on the reverse in three groups
which I am having difficulty in reading, they are:

BLOWLO(?)(?) 1999 IESMN DAVIS 'VIRO' 11 of 40
It stands 5 1/8" (130mm) high x 7 3/4" (198mm) outer rim x approximately 8
1/2" (215mm) at the widest point.

Pictures of it can be viewed here:

TIA - Regards, Ron

Hello Ron,
Very nice indeed. Are you buying, or selling? There's a similar piece in the
Lino Tagliapietra retrospective at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, but that
doesn't match the inscriptions at all.

I am selling, when I can find out a bit more about the piece/artist. Thanks
for the above lead.

Another poster has said it could possibly be a student piece, all I can say
is, he/she has some tallent.

I showed one of the pictures and the details to a couple of glassblowers
that I know earlier and they didn't recognise it as being obviously
attributable to one person. Their comment was also that it is graal work
and engraved so quite a common process that is done by lots of people,
might even have been a student piece.
