The picture from this post has gone and I wondered if it was similar to the one in the link I posted above, the question I have is did RB'y make them or import them and stick on a label, ??? ??? ??? ;D

***.

Royal Brierly certainly imported from Murano at one point, and added their own marketing label. I don't think they ever made their own canes and produced paperweights.

Thanks Alan, they did sell other weights, might this also have been imported, etched Royal Brierley to the base....
