Wow thank you all, thats a big help.

I have also seen a citrine/citron one so I guess I can add that to the list you have given me.

re: Black glass.
We glassmakers believe there is not really any such colour as black. It is a deep shade of purple or blue when sliced very finely1
We made some wonderful black side plates with a pressed underneath and highly polished top face and some fruit bowls with indents for stones (for Nestle cream milk) with "tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor", over 300,000 in pale blue and about 250 in black so very rare now!
regards, Stephen

Hi. I own a Cobalt Blackberry prunt on a chrome base. Have never seen another. A member of my Glass & ceramic group said she found info that it was only made in that colour for 1 year i think it was 1959? Not sure how accurate that info was though. But its one of my favourite pieces and have a Murano penguin in it as if it were a small float bowl. lol For some reason it never allows me to post pics on here, Always says they are too big and have no idea how to make them smaller.
