Topic: Alabaster for show...

[keith]

Only 3 inches tall, perfect condition and cheap, what more could you ask ?

[Paul S.]

very nice Keith  -  great finds and lovely shade of green.           So these will go on the 87th shelf I suppose

Don't know about a shelf - you going to need an extension to your house if you keep acquiring glass at this rate Keith!

Paul, not sure we've got to 87, yet !
Roberta, a new house would be better, bigger the better !

[Paul S.]

could just be a distortion of camera/light/screen, but your green doesn't look very much like the green in Williams-Thomas book, Keith  -  if you have the book, which of the other shades of this colour do you think it is?  (see page 72).          The green in the book is quoted as being jade.

Came out a bit darker than it is, more like the candlestick on page 25,

[Paul S.]

probably jade green then

Mmmm those are nice, Keith!

[keith]

Thanks Anne, have you seen the prices of some alabaster pieces on ebay, £176 for a cup and saucer !  more than 10 times what I paid for mine !!

[Anne]

Ummm no, to be honest I dare not look, Keith! I am banned from buying any more glass until we can get some of the stuff I have rehomed, and get the rest unpacked and sorted out, and there are mountains of trinket sets which take priority for space.
