Not all Babychams or presumably Martini were decorated at Vasart - Some are by Nazeing (they also made the glasses as well as decorating them) and Stephen certainly knows which ones are by Nazeing. One of these days a page on them would probably be a good idea - though most of the other firms that decorated Babycham are lost in time... Showerings kept no records. Tssk businesses.
