Title: Common design but who made it? - ID = Sowerby
Post by: RoynMargaret on January 10, 2011, 03:22:54 PM

Help please, I have had a senior moment.  :pb:

I sold an amber one of these boat-shaped bowls in 2006.

Now I have a green one, but cannot remember which of the main UK makers produced it. Incidentally, it looks as if it should be uranium, but it isn't. Measures approx 180 x 90mm.

Can anyone fill in the gaps or point me in the right direction?

Happy New Year everyone.

There you go! It took me years to forget and less than an hour for it to be remembered.  :hiclp:

Thanks Anne.
