Just to add........thanx John bought the book......quite a while ago actually and there a few copies here for anyone who also is looking http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchR ... &x=66&y=14 Also to add that the photo Smitty posted is in "les Trois Garcons" (the Three Boys) and will post a little more info on the three glass pieces shortly. Was there again (with Mr. Smith) this summer and had a chance for a close inspection. Also for those with an eye for detail the fellow with the orange shirt in the "Red Lion" photo is Mr. Butler. If you a little closer you can also see Susie and daughter Shilo.

Thanx for the added photos Dan. This is at Les Trois Garcons on Brick lane in London. The one on the far left is/has been restored the one in the centre is all original and the far right was made-up about 10years ago to "blend" in with the other 2. I think thats correct. Smitty and I were there again this year so if I made a mistake.......... Pretty nice work eh whot?? It's an upscale restaurant now but this pretty much gives away the origins .
