Can't find that particular number, the closest are a company called 'Bailey' and The Vitrea Union Bottle & Glass Company ltd, both from 1934,  ;D ;D

Mosquito I think your right. Would you know year for this one at all?
How do I find out. It was given to me and I can't find much info on Google

Hello, yes it is a Libochovice 1479 and should have a diameter of 215mm. It is shown on the CD from Marcus Newhall's Sklo Union book in the "before 1958" catalogue though I would think it's from the 1930's.

Thank you Nev B, yes it is the same measurements as the one in the link. I didn't realise it was that old. Amazing it was gifted to me😊
