thanks for posting the pix of the confiture Sue  -  it's very unusual with flat sides and lenses cut on the apex of the corners - nice piece.

I enjoyed the film with Dennis Price - very good, and very eerie.             Remember the ad...........   'hands that do dishes can be soft as three wishes'............. :)

The bowl of the confiture is free-blown and shaped, it is also quite fine.
It can't have been easy getting lenses cut onto the corners - that's an area where internal stresses and weaknesses can be created and come into play.

It's a very pretty and delicate thing.

My pics of the thistle glasses do not show them at all well. >:(

I do find one of the best ways to get a cut to show up IS to hold it up against a grey sky.  :-\
