yes, it does look to be identical. By this date much of the innovative inter-war deco influenced cutting had gone, unfortunately. Fan splits, printies/punties and close patterned relief diamonds don't really excite, but presumably are commercially easier to produce - all three design elements lifted from the Georgians. It's unlikely this cut pattern from Harbridge will be identified - apart from the obscurity of the factory's output, most of the Replacements.com type sites appear to carry little or nothing in the way of reference material for Harbridge, and we remain now as we seem always to have been - without a good book dedicated to English cut glass. But who knows - maybe someone will strike lucky and find the name.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this thread, whoever cut the biscuit barrel in picture 1 looks to have taken their inspiration from Kny - but in my opinion the other designs lack anything to quicken the pulse, though the vase in Reply 2 is quite eye-catching. Sadly cut glass generally lacks popularity, and the pieces from the middle third of the C20 that do inspire are now expensive. I wasn't aware Harbridge produced trinket sets.
