I remember meeting the guy who ran that company---he was convinced the idea was a winner. Sadly, as I recall, very few sets of glasses were sold although I've still got mine!

It certainly was, Peeps. The glasses were of good quality but were too expensive for the target customers.

I'm glad I didn't add, "especially for tat like that".

I know what you mean Peepsie - I couldn't afford them when they came out first,  but many years later I went up to the shop in Harefield and bought a set.  They didn't have any stock so they engraved them while I waited.  I was was a bit miffed that they didn't have any of the 'official' Beau Peep boxes left, and they were done on 'normal' glass as well, so I had them a lot cheaper. They're still very nice though.
