Possibly Phoenix Paperweights, which used John Deacons studio and also had a green ground like that.

I have my doubts about Phoenix: I have images of all but one (fp7) of their "fpxx" paperweights - this is not amongst them. I have also assumed so far, that all their weights were signed - this could be design study, of course.

BTW - has anyone an image of a Phoenix-fp7 weight - it ever there was one ;).

I agree with Wuff. As far as I know, all Phoenix weights were signed and / or had a "PP" cane. My three examples are all signed and two have the PP cane.

I have a couple of William Manson paperweights with near identical base treatment and ground colour.  Given that Willie was one of the people who made the Harland flower paperweights, I suspect this is one of his pieces.
