Hi All. Found in the north west of England, does anyone have any infor about this Dartington Crystal Vase / Carafe (not quite sure which it is - I think a vase but could be completely wrong). Somewhat gourd shaped it reminds me somewhat of the Frank Thrower 'Macho' Vase but the label (I believe) makes it much more recent than that (post 2000 I think). It measures 27 cms tall. The larger 'bulge' at the bottom is 8.5 cms in diameter at the widest point, while the 'bulge' at the top is 5 cms wide at the widest point. Acid etched DARTINGTON on the base and it weighs just over 650 gms. Any info (date, range name, designer) would be much appreciated. Many thanks
