David E:
Thanks Adam, that's most illuminating. I didn't realise you knew him so well :)

glassaddict:
I drove along Station Road this afternoon (I live near Liskeard). BTW I think Lisgeard is an old spelling for Liskeard hence the confusion in earlier posts. Should I have called and got them to read this forum?  :lol:

I too live in Liskeard about 500 metres from Liskeard Glass... before that I lived near King's Lynn and used to frequent both Wedgwood and later Caithness.. indeed my wife at the time used to work at Caithness...

Hey, several months ago I sold a purple Liskeard knobbly on eBay to a Steve who lived very near the glassworks - would that be you?  :)

I think this may be an example of what Adam called his "diminishing grey cells" (but may more truthfully just be a mix up of partially remembered facts).

I don't think John Moncrieff's "became Strahearn", as that was a restructuring and renaming of the former Vasart Ltd, which itself was a restructured version of the original Ysart Brothers Glass. The founders of Ysart Brothers Glass were, of course, three of the Ysart family who were formerly at John Moncrieff's.

But was there a connection in some way between Moncrieff's and Stuart Strathearn, post 1980, after Stuart Crystal had taken over Strathearn from the guys at Teachers Whiskey?
