    Hi Again Everyone!

    Today I jumped in head first to the "Pottery, Glass and Porcelain" and finally pulled the trigger on something. Below are the pictures of what I got. I have no clue if I made a good purchase, and I'm hoping someone could help me decipher the name on the bottom. Thank you!

    MrNate. I can't figure out the signature. Depending on what you paid , I think you did ok. It is a very nice color, and signed is usually a GOOD thing. When Ibuy something I'm not really sure about, my first question is.......Do I like it enough to live with it.....

    Wise words! I've been itching to start trying my hand at buying glass, so I wasn't trying to go crazy with my first purchase. It was $5. Thanks for trying to decipher the signature

    Signature could be "handler".

    A signed bowl for $5.00? An excellent buy.

    MrNate --

    The only glass artist I could locate that is close to your signature is Audrey Handler. The last name matches fairly close at times when I found some examples, but does not in others. As we know, artists sign differently throughout the years. Perhaps contact her and see if this is one her one pieces:

    Fun find! Congrats.
