I saw one of therse in an old books, some time back, it was attributed to Powell! can't remember the books name

Comments : Steve Leslie
My first reaction would be that these aren't WF, on the grounds that they are too "organic", at a time that Harry was taking design inspiration more from historical pieces than from nature, but if you also have a pair in WF green then this must be 'kosher'. Identifying the RD inscription would be the key.

Any info on this on would be appreciated, I have a pair in sea green as well.
