 ;) Isle of Wight Studio Glass. The impressed mark will be the "blob of glass in a flame" logo, and you have an early Lollipop. The flame logo was used from '73 up until ~ '78/9.  :)

Thank you Sue.  I thought it was IoW but didn't know their logos well enough to be certain.  Kind regards and appreciation, Neil

It's nice to find something I can answer.  ;D
The full name includes the words Studio Glass though. There are other glassmakers on the island. :)

The pontil mark shown in photo 6761d-03 is characteristic of early IoW glass - and a similar mark was used by Michael Harris's spin-off glassmakers, such as Kerry Glass.  There is a full explanation in Mark HILL's book "Michael Harris - Mdina Glass & Isle of Wight Studio Glass"
