 ;) I don't honestly know!
But stick your top hat on, grab hold of a yard of ale and suck on your pipe to recover from the shock.  :-*

Phew! got me going there Sue,it's taken me nearly three years,should I now go for the other colours :o
Thanks m,it's probably easier collecting Webbs for me as there seems to be quite a bit still around the area,some of the pieces came from just a couple of miles from Stourbridge, ;D ;D

Is there a facility for putting cold water into the rolling pin?
(ever mindful of the practicalities of kitchen equipment...  ::) )

I'll add my admiration as well Keith - nice collection, and it would seem that blue must be the most common of the three colours, I've not been aware of seeing any of the others although they may well appear on ebay for all I know.     I've four so far, so a little way to go to reach your full set.       Odd that Webb didn't produce at least a rummer to complete the set - after all there are two styles of decanter.
