Title: Identifcation help. ID = Dartington
Post by: sarahb on January 11, 2017, 06:48:38 PM

I have a pair of contemporary style decanters with a mark that I would like to identify. Hoping you can help!

Photos attached.

Many thanks in advance

Wow! That was quick. Thank you! And very accurate it seems! Can I date these to the early days of the factory do you think?

Can't be 100% sure without looking at my books but I think they are FT44s so around 1968ish.

I failed to consider the acid mark. You're absolutely right Christine :). Hollow stopper would make it 1990ish D44?
