Frank:
The only published references I know of are to two pieces in the Manley collection and both were also marked Bermondsey Glass. One of these was cast glass.

Images very fuzzy. Quite happy to be corrected! :)

David E:
If it were float glass, this would date it to at least 1959.

I'm not totally certain that the stands are original to the fish, but I suspect they are. Interesting that the lot in auction in Christines post is dated from the 1930's. I'm wondering where he may have been working at that time as I've only been able to place him at Bermondsey up to the first world war. I've followed Peters suggestion and dropped a mail to Peter Leyton also.
Having taken another look at all the fish, I'm 99% certain they are certainly pre-WW2 and the coloured ones in particular have a real art nouveau glass feel about them, that probably makes little sense but if you feel them you'd know what I mean.

There's a large building complex off Bermondsey St., now divided into commercial units, offices and appartments but still called "The Glass House". It was built in the 1920's.
