Hi
can you post pictures of the base please - sorry, I don't think I could help but base pictures can be important in helping to identify.
Also have you looked at Frank's fabulous Monart site at all?  I think there are pictures of some Scottish glass there also other than Monart which may help and certainly some makers names.
hope this helps a bit, sorry I can't help more but it's not my thing.

Can't resist - No, it's not a bit of tat from China, it's a bit of tat from Scotland.

(It's a basket, {shudder} I don't like the colours, particularly that awful distemper green and I'm Scottish so I'm allowed to be rude about it.  :P )

Thanks for taking my comment so well - it's Vasart, I take it? I far prefer Strathearn and Monart - I like the stronger colours. It is just a matter of personal taste.
My OH thinks the only use for Vasart is as a target for stones. Personally, I'd use paperweights......

(Note to self. Hide paperweights next time Sue visits)
