I have to say i'm rather intrigued by the two little handled mugs with the coin pattern on, in different colours.
I'd love to see better images.  (hint, hint  ;) )
Is there purple in them, towards the top? Is the dark rim real and a sort of chocolatey purple?

Could they be? might they be? are they possibly... Webb's Alexandrite? :o :o :o

Even if they're just two-tone amberina, they're still rather interesting. :)

My guess would be an American version of amberina.

The dark rim was what bothered me, I haven't seen that on amberina, (not that I've seen much).
I was rather unsure about the quality of graduation. ;D
Sometimes, photos can alter the appearance of glass.
I perhaps got a little carried away.  ;D

Strange things happen. Last week on the forum i posted about an Elfverson/Stromberg/Dunne Cooke decanter.
This Sunday i went to one of my usual antique fairs without checking it was on this month, it was not.
On the way back i called into a rainy outdoor car boot. Nearly everyone had packed up there were only about 4 sellers still there.
The first stall i came across only had about 5 things left out on the table. From 50 yards away i spotted a pair of Osbourne pattern
Elfverson/Stromberg/Dunne Cooke decanters.
Both in good condition but with some water stains inside.
I was a happy bunny. good stuff is still out there.
Sorry for the bad UV picture.

This looks like a magnesium glow, not uranium???

Thanks for the reply Rosie.
I need to line up a selection of the Elfverson/ Stromberg decanters to see the range of colours they give off and photograph them.
