    Hello Board Friends - I'm hoping someone will know who made this ice sculpture paperweight. It measures about 6 3/4" wide and 4 1/2" tall. It's signed but I can't quite make it out and it's very difficult to photograph. I think it starts with an R. The scene is two children looking up at stars. Any help on the manufacturer and/or age would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    you'll have to take better photos than that ..try holding the signature at different angles against the light.

    I'll try. It took me the better part of an hour to get that shot. The signature is very small (1/16" to 1/8") and very light - just getting it to show up at all is a bit of a struggle.

    Don-
    Did you try a little cinnamon rubbed into the signature?

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    Enlarged & enhanced, but not sure it helps much.....Don, do you have a stationary magnifier (like one on a stand?) that you could photograph the siggy through????

    Beat me to it. That bluish tinge is characteristic and typical of Strombergshyttan.

    Thank you for all the suggestions. After some more twisting and squinting I think this might be Reijmyre. Right now I'm trying to find an example with a signature - it looks like they used mostly foil labels.

    Got it! Finally figured out how to get my phone to do a close-up.
