Topic: Purple ribbed glass trinket set (part of) mystery #070

[Anne]

I spotted this at a boot fair stall a few years back but they wanted too much for it, so I made do with the photo instead! I've been trying to ID it ever since but can't find a match anywhere, can anyone help please? It's currently languishing as mystery #070 in the GTS albums. I have only the one photo and no dimensions.

How pretty Anne, not one I've ever seen before.

Thanks Jayne, I don't recall seeing another like it either, which is curious given how many of these things we see around. The colour is interesting too - I think it is meant to be amethyst, rather than being sun purpled glass, which must limit the number of possible makers. (Fingers crossed!)

Could this set be by Sherdley?

I noticed the similarities in this set to this Sherdley Advert, Pattern Radiance:
