    Can't read the signature, so I am hoping that one of you sagacious and knowledgeable people will recognize it. I am thinking "Fred" or "Zrel Rhys," but then, I am very fanciful. When I say paperweight perfume bottle, I mean small at 1 3/4 inches tall and 2 inches in diameter. The opening is shaped downwards, and the stopper is tiny and shaped to fit, so it looks more paperweight like.

    The photos will tell the story except for the signature. I appreciate any signature sleuth's efforts. I will do research on any lead or guess. This piece will join my good stuff, but I would like to know more about it, so I can enjoy it to a greater extent.

    I tried Zrel. But I'll try it with just the R. Thanks.

    Here is a Joel Phillips Myers signature. If the Phillips wasn't there - what do you think? Update: None of his work looks like this. He was the head of Blenko glass and after that his work had a lot of geometric shapes. I'll keep trying

    The first name looks like Fred. The last is a scribble.

    I tried a lot of V variations, but nothing came up that looked anything similar.

    I found a Frederick, but no Freds. I'll keep looking, but nothing so far.

    I had to get it out of the case and look at it again. No numbers. I took another photo against a dark background. I appreciate your help. This piece took some skill set. It is cased glass, and very small.

    Could the first word be Jan or Jane" I am just guessing.

    I have to say that this siggy makes my scribble handwriting look superb. LOL

    Jane or Jan. I like that. I have to go to the gym but I’ll research that when I get home. Thank you very much!

    Lots of Jans and Janes. One looked hopeful, but much more readable signature. Good lead though. Thank you.
