Made by the Zibo Zhaohai Light Industrial Products Ltd, in China.  

I contacted these people a while back in my researches on Chinese paperweights, to ask if there was any information available about who made their various glass items.  I got a standard reply (in fairly poor English - but hey, it was better than my Chinese, so who am I to comment?!  :oops: :roll: ) saying something like, "We make many wonderful glass, popular all over world, "  etc., etc., all telling me nothing  :?  :roll:  :(

Write to the embassy in London... cultural attache or press office. Ask them about glass training centres in China and write to them, you are more likely to get an english speaker that way. It would also be worthwhile to get a short note translated by your friendly local takeaway and send both languages.

Yes, I did the same.  I sent them a picture of the vases in question asking if they had made them. Their reply was; yes they could make them for me or to any other design I wanted!  They now send me regular emails with their latest products, so maybe it wasn't too much of a wasted effort. :?  :D
