    Oh, DROOL!
    I have a Dorothy Thorpe bowl - took me forever to find the mark. :)

    Nice vase :) But I would not call this cut crystal though. I am 100% sure the design has been sandblasted / sand etched.

    It's a flag iris, by the way. ;)

    I believe Thorpe called it sand carved which is just very careful sandblasting but with a fine stream.

    I think that the Vase was made by Duncan Miller.
