Thanks pinkspoons ive also seen some very similar whitefriars shape beer mugs but dont think the colour is right for whitefriars, How do you attribute to kosta do you recognise the number underneath? or the design?   :-X :chky:

Darn it! I had a pair of those years ago and never knew what the B serial number stood for...now I do.  Bit late as I've sold them now!   :-[ ::) :)
