You know with those glass trails with faintirridescence I am wondering if it could be a Maltese production or even from Isle of Wight, that has lost its paper label.  I would contact Mdina, Mtarfa, Phoenician & Gozo in Malta(as Far as I know they still exist) and IOW as well.  Hopefully someone will be able to give you better info.

Me too but that style of numbering seems quite distinctive, maybe worth pursuing.

Another vote for no Maltese connection here.

The numbers are distinctive - (stencilled?) and are not Glasform (John Ditchfield) either - he signs his unique numbered pieces - and his numbers don't ever start with a zero.

It is really lovely. :sun:

Thanks everyone, it has been identified with help of a friend on a US side called collectors weekly as an early Tifany favrile glass.
I am very sorry to come back here that late....

Tom, thanks for updating us. We don't mind how long it takes to do so, so no apology needed.  Good that you have a result. :)
