I know they were an import company remember glass apples and pears being passed off as Whitefriars and had a Chinese look about them quite a few of the Chinese/Japanese looking little pot figurines around with the same sticker.

Hi.  I think these are Japanese, 1960s era.  I have seen these thin slice paperweights with 'Made in Japan' stickers.
