2 nice pieces of glass, which i would say are 50s/60s or 70s, then they have been very nicely
engraved with flowers, and signed by Frank Campbell, Broadstone Dorset, in 1982.
Anyone recognise the jug? looks Whitefriarsy :huh: about 11 3/4" clear handle , polished Pontil.
the vase , maybe italian.
Any ideas about the engraver? I did google him and found a Frank Campbell at Havant Council, 2004
with an email address, i emailed , and asked if he had a hobby of Glass engraving, but never got a reply.

Any ideas ? Im sure the jug will be familiar to someone.
Cheers
Andy :D

The start of a collection perhaps! Try an ad in the local paper as he probably sold locally. Might even find some friends and relatives.
