Can you help me identify the artist?

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:

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. Kerry

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.

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.
