According to Dartington Glass, the First Twenty Years it is probably FT61.

An invaluable book and now available at a ridiculously good price on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dartington-glass-collectors-book-The-First-Twenty-Years-/170543826797?pt=UK_Art_Glass&hash=item27b534476d

A really useful book, there are loads of Dartington bits and bobs available in charity shops and bootsales. I know some of it has little monetary value but it is generally well designed and nicely made. I like the daisy bowls and also the daisy candleholders http://picasaweb.google.com/Johnmj100/MiscellaneousGlass#5466397294114881330. I need to update that photo, I just picked up one in clear, looking for one in flame now.
