Dartington tankard for show.

Today's find, 4.5 inches tall with a polished pontil mark, the base is marked No. 372/ 500 Frank Thrower 1975, pretty sure that's what it says, commemorative for Dartington hall which opened in 1925 hence the 50th anniversary emblem.

That is really a bit special.
Dartington Glass, for Dartington Hall and with a Frank Thrower signature.
But it doesn't look that easy to sup beer from that wide rim. You'll need a straw. ;D
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Earth without art is just eh.
