Dartington query
« on: October 11, 2014, 04:06:46 PM »
Hello.  I have some spotted, frosted glassware which I think is Dartington (see photos).  In all I have four tumblers, five of the tall glasses and a jug.  I intend to sell these on eBay, but I need to be certain that they are Dartington because I don't want to mis-describe them. Can anyone confirm whether this is Dartington?

Dartington do a range of frosted Hi balls in a variety of patterns. Mine were Mozart etc and looked like the Hi balls in your Pic.

Thanks.  That's helpful.  I suppose I could send a pic to Dartington.  Obviously they should know.  Should have thought of that sooner.  Thanks anyway.

I had a couple of frosted Dartington tumblers with silly cats on them, (gave them to my brother - the cats were ginger, like his boys.)
However, they were made in France. They were marked as both. (Dartington and Made in France)
They looked very like these.

Perhaps they were something that were outsourced?
