    It DOES day 'Black'.....in white! Can't read what else it says.....maybe a better image without any glare??? From the full image, adding 2002, and adding the rotated image below.....not positive of the word/s, but others might know!!

    The image's been rotated and obviously inverted to, I hope, bring out the lettering, but I don't know the name you're looking for!! So, in particular, the one in the upper right with the '?' over it is the one I can't figure out....Good Luck!! And as I said, it looks like '2002' is in the lower right....

    It's another M. I believe it says DeSomma.

    I think it's either 2001 or 2007.

    If it's etched, try sprinkling some flour on it, and wipe off the excess. It may become clearer.

    I used flour, and it's definitely Blaker DeSomma. Thanks everyone!

    So is this a sea urchin, anemone, or something else?

    Thanks wiscbirddog, sis, and komo.

    It is a pretty little thing. I wonder if it was sold in their studio shop - a modest piece at a price more visitors could afford. Some of their stuff is pretty spectacular - and expensive.
