Can anyone decipher the inscription on this item (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5335820906&toolid=10001&customid=&ext=320282796207&item=320282796207)?

Shona Spittal Caithness Glass, the date is 1986, 863/970 ?????
-
She was still Shona Nicholson in 86.

Thanks. (I rather liked the idea of 'Shangri La' as a maker....)

Seller also describes it as faceted, which Shangri-La (1987 ed 150) was, I don't see any facets nor is it the same design. Nor can I see it in Charlton or on SG so perhaps it is not CG?
-
I can't decipher it, but could be a Selkirk signature. Looks like Peter Holmes' 'writing' to me. And there's a Shangri La listed for Selkirk in 1987 (in 'Paperweights from Great Britain') but sometimes Selkirk editions crossed two years or even more.

Had Selkirk confirmed, thank you ;) , 1987 Selkirk catalogue - edition 450, marked as new in 1987.

Bahhhh my Dad beat me to it. It is a Selkirk, I have one in my collection.
