Just had a wander around a little antiques fair, saw a very very similar weight,
with a sticker on it, Thorneycroft art glass.
anyone aware of this artist?

Cheers
Andy

Thats the same sticker i saw today, and i think mines a good match for style, design and the base :thup:

I think thats a wrap  :clap:  and i shall mark this  one up to A J Thorneycroft  .

Patience is a virtue!
