Question:
Hi, I just found a Prismatique bowl with the raised makers mark numbered 791. The unusual aspect of this piece is the hand engraved letters and numbers above the RW M/M. I will attach pictures but they didn’t come out the very best but it should give you an idea of what I’m talking about. I believe this could be an engraved glaze formula??? possibly?? It is UNDER the glaze. The engraving says – top line – Lil (or Li1) under that is the number- 76 The black stuff on it came off with no problem but there are two chips in the piece. Any information on the engraved stuff or a estimate on value would be great. Thanks so much. Nancy I do have more pictures to send if you would like to see them. The piece is solid white.. not colorful at all like other pieces I’ve seen when I looked this up tonight.

Answer: it is a bit odd, I haven’t seen that type of mark before, and an all white color is unusual. it probably is a hobby shop piece, with the name and date, altho I haven’t seen a piece of prismatique done in a hobby shop. most glaze tests were done in ink, not engraved. Value around 40.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
