RM — Very difficult, as it is a style made by many glassworks.   See, for example, Registration No. 500502 by John Walsh Walsh on 20 April 1907 (illustrated in Reynolds and in Gulliver).   Same elements, but a berry between each bell, and only one berry at the lowest point of each swag.   There are at least two specialist replacements websites that may be able to help rather more.

Good luck!

Hi Bernard - thanks for your swift reply. Can you let me know the names of the two specialist replacement websites you mention. And if there is anywhere else you can suggest for me to learn more I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

RM — Unfortunately I haven't kept a note of them, but they occur every now and again on this board, and other members may be able to help you more specifically.   Try a board search, using the SEARCH button at the top of the page, on "replacements.com".

www.replacements.com and www.discontinueddesigns.co.uk are the two I use.
