Topic: Pair of millefiori door knobs.

[Anne E.B.]

Are these Pirelli Glass by any chance?  The excellent Scotland's Glass website show similar ones described as Pirelli Glass - Vasart reseller (1959). 
Mine came as a pair in what might be their original box.  However the box has a barcode underneath which if original to the contents, dates them any time back to the late 70s when barcodes were introduced in the U.K. I think.  The light blue one has RC2023 impressed on the underside of the metal and is slightly larger, and heavier than the other.
Haven't a clue who actually made them and just thought Scottish when I first saw them, without knowing anything about these objects.
TIA

I think you're absolutely on the right track. I just don't know enough to say exactly which bit of it.
Lovely things, with a bit of age, I think.
Not as recent as Perthshire, sticking my neck out a little bit.

Left is Strathearn for sure. Right might be Perthshire but not certain, a photo on it's own might help.

Mmm, Left could be Vasart as well... Not for sure at all now!

I have these two as Strathearn, pretty sure they also had RC2023 on the metal.

I'd ignore the Pirelli thought.
  I think i actually did when first replying, and was just thinking... mmmm-Ysart. Sorry!

[glassobsessed]

I really should have checked further....

This one I have as Vasart and it does have RC2023 on the metal. Ho hum...

[chopin-liszt]

I'm now pondering.

Did Vasart "keep" the good strong colours for doorknobs, in any sort of conscious way?
They do seem to contain a lot of them, compared to their normal very limited (by circumstances, not choice) pastel-y sort of output.

Many thanks for all your quick replies
Here's a picture of the one on the right that you mention John.

Doesn't look quite right for Perthshire to me, suspect it is Strathearn.
