The only place I know that uses that much fake gold on their wares is the Czech factory Borske Sklo :-\

Without any real evidence, I was thinking Ravenhead Pilkington.

Keith, I can hardly believe you would buy this and the impressive, exquisitely hand painted between the wars, wine glass decorated with flowers, you posted recently! Your glass church must be a broad institution!!

 David E is probably nearer to Walsh Walsh geographically than me...... Maybe Stuart? (Failing that, Royal Brierley?) Either way these glasses are not that appealing to me...... your other posting is a wonderful piece of glassmaking, also it seems from a similar location!
