Does anyone recognise this makers mark?

that displays blue under lights

The glass is probably neodynium.
Neodynium glass changes colour under florescent (inc. "low energy") lightbulbs. In daylight and under tungsten / halogen bulbs it's that purple / violet colour.

Thanks, Robbo.

I thought it probably was neodymium.  I've read about it, but never seen any meself.  I was hoping that someone who knows would confirm it.    :lol:

Now to find out where it came from...

Hi Chris,
Sorry I can't help you with the mark - I'm sure someone will be along to help soon.
I just bought a neodynium carafe set and have had lots of fun with the lighting in my flat  :lol:
Best wishes,
robbo
