"Collectable Eggs" were introduced in 1998 - and in 1999 there was a set 5 five, including
and
which are the closest to yours I find - they are named "Daffodil" and "Violet", however - no "Midsummer" in this series.
If you go to Scotlandsglass (link in my signature below) and do a product search on "egg" you'll find a few more.

Any further info on names (like an image of the signed base) would be appreciated - as would be your permission to use your image(s) on Scotlandsglass, as to date we only have scanned catalogue images of these weights.

OK - so likely the entire series is named "Midsummer something" - with "Midsummer" just not mentioned in the catalogue. Problem solved - even without an image of the base signature.

Thank you also for the (implicit) permission to use your images: it would be even better if you could send me the original photographs (with higher resolution) directly - you'll find a mail icon in the left hand column for that purpose.

Thank you again, and best regards - Wolf
