sorry, no idea, but am sure Dartington didn't use this colour, and a lot of their stuff is either stickered or has back stamp of DARTINGTON.         Sorry this isn't helpful.           If this is your first post then welcome to the GMB. :)

thanks Paul! yep, i'm a first-timer. maybe someone else would be able to point me in a direction of manufacturers who may have produced this color and/or similar style? I thought maybe Dartington because I found sold vessels in a very similar color, their Armchair Barware pattern is similar, and also found other vessels that have a similar foot. would you happen to know if Dartington has always used an etched backstamp?

I have a set of four glasses with a similar shape and colour and large ground pontil. As you can see from my second photo they are uranium glass, which surprised me, if you have access to an ultra violet lamp you can test them. I don't know if Dartington ever produced uranium glass and haven't identified mine but have an inkling they may be French or Dutch. Mine are 4" tall and I think lead crystal.

I'm not aware that Dartington ever used uranium in the mix.
