Hi All,
Thanks for the lovely comments, the Whitefriars measures 7" tall, I shall be listing all three very soon soon, maybe about the 13th August :wink:
Here is a photo of the decanter base and stopper, which is hollow with no plastic sleeve. Leslie Pina has one in amber in the Blenko section of the 50's glass book

http://i3.tinypic.com/23szwus.jpgThe colour dosen't look Italian to me, if anything more Scandinavian with the olive green colour, the glass is very thin and finely blown and doesn't have the va-va-voom of the 1960's Italian glass. I am most probably wrong :?
I think I will post the paperweight on the other board, just to check who made it. I still don't know the difference between Perthshire and Strathearn, apart from if they are marked. Is there one? :oops:
The sticker on the large lips vase looks very 1950's with the paintbrushes, a bit to "cutesy" IYKWIM, rather than the retro 60's look.
Have been to one today, the only thing I have bought is my middle daughers' prom dress, an American designer one for £5.00. If I can persuade her I will post a picture as she looks stunning, but not really a glass thing :lol:
She didn't take much persuading
