Christine, thanks  :) a search on that brought up your absolutely fabulous bowl   :mrgreen: however, it's not quite the same finish or colour as Webb Iris is it?  It's difficult to tell from photos but it looks lighter and more subtle somehow.  Do you think it is?

Further questions, did Thomas Webb ever leave a snapped off pontil mark rather than a polished pontil mark? On another thread I think it was established that they did not always mark their glass.  I can find no reference that Stevens and Williams did the same finish as I'm looking for and nor Walsh Walsh - although I think the 'feel' and finish thickness/fine'ness' of Walsh Walsh mother of pearl ( I have some of these) is the same or very similar to what I am looking at. Does anyone have Cyril Manley's Decorative Victorian Glass  and would be willing to look something up for me please?
Many thanks
