Title: Diamond cut ashtray, Dartington?? - ID = Davidson pressed glass
Post by: vanmann on May 24, 2015, 06:55:37 PM

I am sure that I saw this ashtray recently described as Dartington, Frank Thrower 1960s, but now can't findany trace of it. Any ideas please, thank you John

It looks more like Davidson than Dartington - might be an avenue to explore. Have a browse through www.cloudglass.com - where there is a Davidson glass section with a range of design examples.
