There's not a lot about this piece on my current website - mostly it is written about and illustrated in our books. But there is an early piece I wrote on our old website still in archive form.

thanks glen,i take it it's sowerby glass,i hope i'm not pushing it to ask what sort of date it may be,many thanks..

[Glen]

Yes, it's Sowerby (as Christine noted above, too). Date? Well, this pattern was shown in their catalogues from around 1907 through to the 1950s.
