Hello Gilead, and welcome    a photo of the base and and your location (England, America, Australia) may help someone to identify it for you.

Hi Sue,
                     thanks for your time, and i will now follow your advise but the base has no marks, on it im in the united kingdom, Andy for sure you are right thats what drawed me to it, the nice colour, it's my first piece of glass so im what you call a novice, in collecting, Gilead,

The view of the base but no mark,s i forgot to ask is it a cake stand or a fruit, bowl ? i only payed £2.99 /$1.50 at a local charity shop, so am pleased very much as it's nice to look at, any help appreciated

It could be Sowerby, I'll look at the catalogues later.

Hi Lustroussstone
                        Thank you for taking time to have a look, i was speaking to some one today whom said it might be Carnival Glass? if you manage to find it in the cat's that would be loverly bye for now,
                                                                                     Gilead

Not carnival glass. There simply isn't any iridescence in evidence.

Our very own Glen has lots of lovely pictures on her website that will show you what carnival glass is http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Geyser/1799/home.html
