Hi again all,

I was pretty sure that this footed bowl/comport/vase??? was Dartington, but haven't be able to find it anywhere. It's about 17cm tall by 16.5cm rim diameter, is lead crystal glass and has what I think is horizontal optical ribbing in it. Despite how it appears in the picture, the sides are actually parallel (i.e. vertical). Can anyone here help?

Sorry to keep pestering you, and many thanks in anticipation. John.

Hi, i saw something very similar to this in the Anchor Hocking range, maybe a lead there.

Thanks Dexter ~ I'll start digging there and see what I can find!
Cheers, John.

No, not Dartington. Frank Thrower liked thick feet and stems. Looks Polish, imported by a London Dealer called Reducta 1970-1985, but from which of 8 factories I could not say. made probably for British/Western European market!

Thanks for that sph@ngw. Another bit of much appreciated information to add to the pot!
