Oh Gareth!!  Just for a moment I thought you had said you had dropped them!!  My heart flipped!
Look forward to hearing what they have to say. If they did make them, they might email you pics of other designs......I await with interest.

It's Swedish from Målarås glassworks and designed / made by  Mats Jonasson.

 Målerås glassworks ( Spelled it wrong in previous text, sorry).

I wrote to the Målerås glassworks to ask re this plate, and have just had a very helpful response:

The plates were designed by Mats Jonasson in 1981 and were retired from production some ten years ago.

There were four different platters; called ”Carpenters”, “Blacksmiths”, “Musicians” and “Glass-blowers”. They were part of the regular production, not limited editions.

Given this it's surprising I've not seen more about - of course now we'll be awash with them !
