Dartington Glass - Frank Thrower designs

WoW! They look great as a group

I have the FT60 as shown and also some of the other pieces.

See first photo, its shown but no code given - its pretty common I think but nice all the same

Second and fourth photo show pieces I think that are by Thrower any more info on them?

The last one is not Dartington, they have been attributed to a Finnish glass company Lasisepat, but there is always a lot of confusion surrounding these as they are also similar to a Ravenhead range I think was called flair.

Thanks Davee

I attributed last vase to Dartington re book source years ago and actually sold this vase type as Dartington.

Goes to show you can't always believe what you read especially when so much research still needs to be done.

This one is Dartington - see etched mark to base in corner of photo.

Here is another vase that's very similar to Dartington

Here is a 'Daisy' range cheese platter in clear glass still in it's box - the cover illustration is by Kim Thrower - I suspect that was his wife?

Got given this today - clear glass with seaform feel to it - shallow and frosted underneath standing on a diamond shaped foot

Book is on order so anyone know if it's by Thrower and design number, date?

That's so pretty :D such a nice shape. Nothing constructive to say, just admiring... i am a teeny bit jealous
