 ??? These are Stuart Strathearn, not "Stuart Crystal Studio". I've checked p 437, I think it's misleading. I'm not sure something called "Stuart Crystal Studio" even exists.
This Iestyn Davies design comes in pink and blue as well - it is inspired very much by IoWSG Summer Fruits, much as his Stuart Strathearn "Ebony and Black" is inspired by IoWSG Azurene. He trained for a while at IoWSG before going to Stuart Strathearn.

I gave a 10" tall (iirc) cylinder version of one of these as a present to a friend for Christmas.  It was turquoises and blues on the whitish background.  I bought it off ebay for a very small amount.  When it arrived I thought it was gorgeous to be honest.  Much nicer than the pic had showed in the listing.  Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures.

It's got a name, this design. I cannot, for the life of me, remember what it is.  ::)

It clearly didn't live up to the name in my brain!  :-[
Thanks, John! :-*
