sorry the flame is the mirror image to the IOW flame mark, the IOW one the tip of the flame is on the left side as you look down on it, the kerry glass one is on the right side as you look down on it

Just a short caution: according to Mark Hill's book on Michael Harris, the "reversed" pontil stamp was used only for a limited time period - for yet unproven reasons; Kerry also used to "original" IoW stamp.

Conclusion:
- reversed stamp = Kerry Glass
- original stamp = could be either of them

So could anyone inform me of the date period that Alum Bay used the AB impressed monogram? I picked up a 3" drop/pear shaped one at a boot sale a couple of weeks ago for a couple of quid. It's clear glass with a white swirl that gives it a 'Vaseline' look.
