Note: Following a failed attempt to licence the production of Lalique and Sabino glass in the UK, Jobling commissioned moulds in France from Frankhauser, the leading Parisian mould maker. The wares were highly acclaimed, however, the expense of production, coupled with recession and turbulent times meant Opalique glass was only made for a short time between 1934-1939
