We've taken a fresh photo of one of our "Tornado Variant" (i.e. peacock feather motif) vases and I have extended an article that I had written previously. If you're interested in seeing all the photos etc., the direct link is here (you can get the links to the rest of the article from this page too). You can also go direct from my main home page (url in footer here)

I said, earlier:

As for the piece that I showed a while ago, owned by a friend, I will hopefully be looking at it again this Saturday. I will try to get whatever details I can about the mark that is on it (which I suspect will be an etched "Stuarts").
Ah! Good intentions. I visited the friend but in the heat (actual and metaphorical) of the day's other events, I entirely forgot about the vase. :oops:

It's interesting to see some better photos of such distinctive glassware, which is so different to what most people refer to as 'peacock eye' glass. Interesting stuff!

The new posts to this topic remind me that I should try and capture some stills from the DVD footage of the Webbs catalogue I have.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how this might be done?

David, I don't have the technical knowhow for proper image capturing from a DVD, although I thought there were controls in some players that allow exactly that.

However, perhaps it would be sufficient to simply pause on the required images and take a standard photo of the screen and work from there? Or just use standard pc controls for image capture, as below?

As an experiment, here's an image I took (without permisssion !!) from a rather good DVD on British Birds:
http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-2316

I ran the video via Windows Media Player (to keep it basic), paused the play then used Alt + Prnt Scr to capture the DVD window. After resizing the captured image to 500 pixels width and sharpening, I optimised it from over 200Kb to around 50K. The full-sized result is not too different in quality from the actual paused DVD image.
