Hi people!
David,
Thanks for that link. It's very interesting. My purple glass turns blue under the fluoro light. I thought it was supposed to turn pink, or is that something else entirely? It's really a marked difference. I've been nipping from the study (fluoro) to the bathroom (incandescent) and then turning the bathroom light out and putting my blacklight on (nothing apart from the green one).
The family think I'm nuts...
You've got me checking them all now :huh: .
They're pressed glass with straw marks, 85 mm tall and weighing between 185 and 225 g. They're all a different weight, the purple (or blue ) one being the heaviest.
The green one is really very startling, and the red one shades from a very deep red to an orange near the top under the fluoro.
Thanks, Pete, as well. Emmi, the ones with the Italian sticker (I think) had a clear glass base to the red glass, so slightly different again. I'm confused (nothing new in that)
