Thanks, @mvc! Best wishes from me go to you and the rest of the crew. You all helped to make the year much more bearable than it would have been without you.

@mark737. That makers stamp you posted dates from 1953 when the company decided to modernise their furniture designs and rebrand themselves as " G-Plan".

@lexi  Thanks.  I see they note to look for their mark inside doors and under tables to make sure it's genuine G-Plan.  I also found this site with a great timeline on their marks and tags.  Though, I'm not sure where they'd mark a table with a slatted shelf and either a glass or reversible top.

@octa199 The link has contact details so you could check if your table is one of their designs.

@lexi  That HW site is great - wish we had this for more makers.  I wonder if it's comprehensive as far as G-Plan goes or if there are collections missing.   I didn't see anything like the OP's table or other similar ones also attributed to G-Plan.  Maybe this one is another example from the mysterious Dutch or British maker that made my "Ponti" table, and the others "in the style of Teeffelen" . 

@wesemael  Did V&D sell Webe furniture or is the Teeffelen-style coffee table shown in the ad another maker's version of his table with the mosaic tiles on top and the wicker shelf?
