"Dartington Glass: The First Twenty Years, 1967 to 1987" by Linda and Stuart Smithson has everything in it that Frank Thrower (and a few others beside during that period) designed for Dartington and is often found on ebay direct from the authors at a good price.

I'm not entirely convinced Pip's glasses are FT. I'll check later

I apologise, they are FT109, Polar range "On the rocks". Second quality though with that label. Came in clear, midnight and kingfisher. The glasses are hi-balls (109/6) if 5.5 inches tall.

Here's an FT2 to look out for, unstruck Flame = amber
