Signed Heart shaped paperweight - but who made it?

Got this as part of a shelf lot. I thought maybe Glass Eye Studio but I can't find any of their other pieces signed this way. It is 4 3/8" top to bottom by 4 1/2" across & is 2 3/4" thick.



Thanks for any & all advice or opinions!!!

Gawd. Someone in 2009!

 

That's one thick heart!!!! You sure it's not beating! Colors are pretty!!!! Try checking with paperweights.com His name is Allan. Very positive to talk with!!!

 

I deal with quite a bit of Glass Eye stuff and I have never seen a piece signed this way. Most of their stuff has a "clear" vinyl label, though I have seen some paper labels.

 

The colors are very pretty. It weighs almost a pound all by itself.

I have posted pieces with them before & they were extremely helpful.

I considered Glass Eye only because of the first 2 letters that I thought might be GE. I have never seen a pontil like this on any of their pieces either.

The mystery has been solved.

I decided to consign this piece to a local shop because it is a nice piece & I thought someone might appreciate it if they saw it in person. I told them it was signed but I wasn't able to figure out who made the piece. They informed me that the initials were for a local glass place her in Columbia, SC called One Eared Cow Glass (OECG) that was started by a couple of art school graduates of the University of South Carolina back in the early 1990s.

You never know where one of their pieces may show up so I thought I would post there information.
