Hi Steve, it stands for Jones & Co, an importer rather than a manufacturer.  The label would also have said "Made in Sweden".  The California label is probably a retailer label.  I forget which make this design is, but I'm sure someone will know.

I seem to recollect that they also imported Murano. This piece looks more like a Murano piece.

On the label pic, I'm sure I can make out the tops of the letters for "SWEDEN".

[langhaugh]

You're right, Wayne.  Ooops.

This one looks mould blown, similar Murano shapes are usually facet cut I think.

Agreed, John.  Was I right in thinking Jones also imported Murano. I could be thinking about George Hardy. (I must stop posting in the middle of the night.)

Mod: Important Note. As at 19 May 2020, a thread by Wayne advises that George Hardy was not the importer of various glass items as has been stated in threads within the GMB. The correct importer name is Hans Geismar.

Lindshammar is a distinct possibility.

Here is one of Wayne's photos with an intact label: http://www.20thcenturyglass.com/auctions/2011/lind290911_vase.jpg
