I was wondering if Guernsey Glass and Island Studio Glass really are the same. Guernsey Glass has the three lions logo but Island Studio glass has a carriage and perhaps a glassblower on its labels but no lions.

It wasn't aimed at you  ;) ; it was more of a general query that I've been unable to answer with a quick google

Christine it is interesting you comment about a a carriage and a glassblower on labels.  I have only ever seen the one below and it shows a single level bungalow with a central portico.  Presumably the house where the glass was made.  If you have examples of the other types I would like you to post them.

That's the label I was thinking of - I haven't got one but I have seen it. My question still stands. Do we KNOW they are the same? Has anything been seen with the label and the lions?
