moremarbles4me Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Anybody know the maker of this marble. The signiture looks like JC or maybe Jr? It measures a little over 1 1/16". Thanks in advance Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Bump. I also posted it at GA. Hope that's okay. Surprising for the ones with signatures to go unID-ed. http://glasswizzards.yuku.com/topic/2787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo44 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Charles, my first inclination was, it's a newbie due to the slag style used in the making of the marble. Not very much technique showing there. However, knowing how easy it is to burn goldstone, and there is LOTS of it very close to the surface on this marble, my gut feeling is, "this ain't no newbie". Whomever made this marble is using a scribe or a dremel to "etch" their initials into the glass. NO signature chip. The pink/rosy color should be screaming a name @ me because it is just not that common a color being used. With all that said, I have helped about as much as Stephanie, as I still do not know who signed it. Miss Edna would be more likely to id than just about anyone else I can think of.

sissydear Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thanks Bo! LOL i saw the marble the first day it was posted and I haven't a clue who made it. I thought some of the artists at Glass Addiction would know, but no one has responded. Sorry I can't help. Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moremarbles4me Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Bo, I appreciate your thoughts on this marble. Steph thanks for posting it over at GA I never thought of doing that. Edna I was hoping you would have the answer. LOL Thanks guys! Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 The only 'JC' amongst contemporary glass artists that comes to mind is James Cooprider but I really do not know if I could credit him with making this marble. He's a lampwork artist. David C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 The JC's I know of are Jerry Capel, Jason Compagni and Joe Crisanti. I don't know their styles. The names came from the list I was given at GA. The GA discussion of this particular marble turned out kinda cool - giving a good feel for why the signature might not be enough to make the ID.

sissydear Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 That signature could be JC or Jr. If none of us have seen the work of this artist, I would guess that's why we don't recognize it. I guess that could be an abbreviation for Junior. It's really a pretty marble. With no date accompanying the sig, that also makes it difficult. I thought the artists might recognize the style.

m!b$ Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I noticed that Phil McGlothlin doesn't appear to be on the list. I believe he may be deceased (does the list only include living artists?) That signature definitely looks like "Jr" to me, not "JC". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 The only thing I have close to it (the lavender and goldstone on a transparent base) is an unsigned torch piece that I believe to be (but cannot confirm) a John Hamon Miller. The use of lavender/goldstone is not a common combination among artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Those are typical Hamon colors. Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 The JC's I know of are Jerry Capel, Jason Compagni and Joe Crisanti. I don't know their styles. The names came from the list I was given at GA. What a great list to have. I'd add James Cooprider (mentioned in an earlier post), but I'm not sure he makes marbles anymore. I haven't seen that much of his work, but what I've seen doesn't resemble the nice contemporary you're trying to ID. At the risk of starting another "He's in the hospital" thread (let's not! Although that turned into something hilarious), I usually keep an e-bay eye on Anton Bodor's work, although I've only managed to get one mib by him (most are too big for my self-imposed size restrictions -- gotta stop somewhere). But there's been nothing for several weeks. Anybody know anything? Just curious. I'd love to stumble over another small Bodor marble - - - Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 List updated! Thanks all! edit: ooops, I said Jim Cooprider. Which is he more known by? Jim or James? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
