Title: Made in Britain?
Post by: w84it on April 09, 2010, 03:51:52 PM

This has just finished on ebay:

It commemorates the Festival of Britain in 1951.

But where was it made?

Doesn't look British.  More Murano?

The seller certainly doesn't spare his camera.  The photos go on and on.

Absolutely Murano.

I had advised the seller it's Murano - no reaction.

There was an Ideal Home Exhibition at Olympia in 1951, possibly it was made for that.
