Oh be reasonable -- M&S as a label I could cope with - but Woolworths Noo..... I can't cope.... not Woolies... Anything but Woolies...

Oh I confess I'm a snob... M & S is so much more upmarket than Woolworths.. *Holding nose up in air*

Possibly Krosno Glass from Poland as they made one similar. I say possibly as I've seen them with longer and shorter necks.

The one that I saw had a label on it saying it was a Jasper Conran Design, Made in Poland.

Jasper Conran, he likes his swirls although I've only seen cut ones.
