A couple of Pagoda style perfumes top quality and clearly marked Okra and dated 1985 WLPSB which I learnt from Station Glass stands for White Looped Pagoda Scent Bottle. Nothing to add to the post just thought they were gorgeous

Utter rubbish, if you wish to misinterpret what I wrote that is your choice. What a pity it is that you do not understand idiom.

Took you a long time to come up with that one.

Another Okra vase on a foot with the same shape but here made with chalcedony glass, marked with Mr Goldings initials and dated 1982.

ooh that's rather lovely! 

I like the shape because of the cylindrical foot which makes it.  Love the decor - it's beautiful.

  As you may be able to see, the pontil mark is not fully polished.
It is oval, a bit gouged and has a satin finish.

The second vase in this shape does help firm up the attribution to Okra, the date too. I had the Loetz signatures on the original vases polished out, the vase with the foot got smashed at the time, gravity, concrete floors and glass are unhappy bedfellows...

[chopin-liszt]

It does indeed. I had forgotten this thread and that shape. As soon as you flagged it up and I saw them again and thought of the chalcedony piece immediately.
As usual, you got there before me. 
I think you were right to get the fake mark removed. Sorry to hear it ended up ruining the vase, but it was deliberately "damaged" by the marking first.
