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 a

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 he

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.
