Langhaugh & Beaubow, most likely Sanyu Glass, early production so late 60's to early 70's.

I have about 30 pieces in this colour way which is quite prolific by the company, but the style and shapes that turn up still amazes me.

Beaubow's piece is definitely not run of the mill and is 'high end' for this company. Langhaughs would be more highly produced as I have seen the shape a few times over the years. But still desirable.

I have my Sanyu Glass box of glass from the storage unit and will list the pieces here in due course. Once I clear out some Murano pieces.

Kane and Tigerchips,

Many thanks for the id for my piece.  It's a piece I've wondered about for a few years. And thanks to Robert for starting the thread.

Yeah, I found that last night, when I was looking on Google before I went to bed.  It removes all doubt from my mind.  I also can't complain about the price they're asking!

Is there any chance (hope against hope) that someone has more information on Sanyu glass?  Ideally in English or some other European language?

Thanks all so much for your help!
Robert

Unfortunately there is a not a lot of information on the company out there. I have some notes taken from here and there over the years. When I get a chance, I should put it all together and put it in the glass reference section.
