Yes, good luck at the auction Thomas, but bring an umbrella,  the weather forecast is dismal here.....stay in the auction house and keep dry that way!

And I would just like to add how beautiful that Claret Jug/bottle/decanter is.....enjoy its beauty for a little while before parting with it.....you don't want sellers remorse,  do you?

Wave as you pass through Hampshire on your way to Wiltshire. Safe Journey.

Thomas I'm sure you have far more references than I, and this is probably not all that helpful, but in CH 20th CenturyBritish Glass page 33, there is a plate of hock glasses, one of which is similar colours to yours - the blurb underneath does mention '...Harry Whitworth who joined the firm as an engraver in 1916, is recorded as decorating a Rockinghan cased on citron hock glass in 1918'.
I have no idea what 'Rockingham' means or whether the dates fit in, but it may be another name to search for?
