[Mod: Please note: This response was made by Wuff, within an earlier thread which has now been split and tidied. Because the response pre-dates the new thread, the text is simply copied to here.]

Here are a couple of images of a 1990 Selkirk weight I found - no name at all written on it.
Just "Selkirk Glass Scotland 1990". It's waiting to go home to Christine. :)
I have checked all catalogues prior to 1992 - nothing similar. Most likely one of the people there was trying something out - call it a trial piece, design study, one-off, ..., most likely just no name (wouldn't be the only one!).

Thank-you Kev! :-*
I will try not to make such a muddle and so much extra work for you again.

I think it is a no-name production piece. I'm fairly sure I've seen it before on a certain auction site.

It's nice enough, but it doesn't scream; "quality" or "I am something really special." at you, in capital letters. The trails of spatter down the sides are "poked" into place with bubbles. It's a Selkirk weight, I found it in a charity shop, so I did not pay a huge amount for it.
It was nice enough that I thought you might like it, that's all. :)
