In case anyone is offered or sees these offered for sale anywhere...  reportedly described by Cumbria Police as " two particularly rare examples of early 19th century* Lalique glassware.... a Lalique mermaid dish and Lalique glass bowl", please contact Cumbria Police on 0845 33 00 247.

Surely you can't be doubting the word of the police, Anne? In any case it must be true - it's in the papers!  ;D ROFL
