Glass paperweights, Pig and Elephant, signed A.H.
I have 2 nice paperweights but not sure who made it. The swirl inside looks like Caithness but I'm not sure.
Both pieces are signed A.H. Any help would be great.
Thanks
Simon

Hi are you certain they are signed AH, not AA? Could they be Adam Aaronson's work?

There's an elephant by Adam Aaronson on the British Museum shop website, but it doesn't look the same as the one above. And his Aaronson Noon Glass company seems to have a U with a dot inside as their mark.

I suspect they are by an individual glass maker local to you, rather than by a top studio like Caithness.

Please can we see the signature on the base of the blue pig? Adam made several small animals and rarely used the Aaronson Noon inverted U with the dot in the centre for these.
I have several of his elephants and three are the style you mention NaomiM, another three are a more modern rendition. The little pig has a quality to it that seems missing in the little elephant. Can you be certain that it is actually an elephant, there seem to be no ears to speak of? It would be good to see the other signature if possible please.

Ok, I've just taken a photograph of the signature underneath the blue pig. Definitely looks like A.H.
As to the other piece, it looks like an elephant since it has a trunk :) but you're right it has quite small ears.

Thanks for all the extra pictures, and yes I agree that the letters are AH, so clearly not Adam's work...so onwards and upwards...I will keep looking for you.
