Hi all
Ive had these 2 weights for quite some time now, packed away in a box as ive never been able to put an ID to them, so is now there time to shine  Wink
OK i know normally they would be put on as seperate threads but i think  they are pretty similar and there is a chance they are by the same maker... maybe?
I will call them weight A & B (A is on the right and B is on the left)

Weight A, has a pink iridescent sheen with a swirl of colours running around the outer (can just about be felt when you run your finger over it)
The base protudes stightly almost as if it was going to be/has been a mushroom which has been damaged and cut down. It is very well polished in the little base.
7.5cms in diameter.

Weight B, has the same basic shape as weight A slightly less domed. Made with red and white glass swirled around on the outer, with a very similar pink iridescence (slightly more rainbow shine then the sheen of weight A). The colour can also be felt when touched more so than weight A.
The base on weight B, looks like it would have been the same but when it was done it was wonky as its been ground down into the weight on one side which has been left rough but the round bit has still been polished
7.7cms

Neither weight has markings at all unfortunitly. Can any body give me an idea on maker or even country?
many thanks
michelle
