Hi, does Anyone know who may have made this? It’s beautiful and a heavy deep cut piece. I’ve spent long hours trying to find out who created this beauty. Thanks

When I saw this pic, I thot “ABP”, and hey, at least you know that part about it! I’m really not sure these were actually signed. Maybe someone will come along and let you know! Someone that goes by the handle Tallcakes!!! The resident glass encyclopedia! I swear he’s got a photogenic brain... ok, so that’s not what it’s called but at least he’s got a brain, mine seems to have taken a bit of a stroll at this point! Lol.
ABP isn't my bailiwick,,, it can be difficult to ID without a maker's mark, which can be difficult to spot. There is a facebook group to check with. Here's one online source with a few catalogs:

It is cut glass in a Pinwheel pattern. Companies such as Clark, Maple City, Quaker City and Pitkin & Brooks cut many of the Pinwheel patterns we see today. And yes, some of it was signed.
