                       Thought i would share my glass haul from todays outing managed to get this little lot together in about an hour while i was out ordering the work tops for the bungalow kitchen.

Some nice pieces even if i say so my self, some quite identifiable straight away other's not so easy, so will post some in a jiff, Whitefriar's and i think some fratteli Toso here.

The large bowl in the middle is an Indiana Glass salad bowl no.2895 c.1970s. (Not me being clever, but Glen kindly ID'ing mine some time back ) I use mine as a fruit bowl.  It looks stunning in sunlight (but doesn't do the fruit much good).

Hi Anne.
           Thanks for IDing the large iridescent fruit bowl as Indiana what kind of fruit would you say this is i think it is strawberry shape but Mrs S saying raspberry? also can any one tell why the under side looks like it is cracked or got loads of crease's.

This bowl shows purple red blue silver and of cause green, when you say Indiana  is that American carnival? have you noticed how the pattern shows though the bowl,

It's a bunch of grapes, Steve! The item was called "Vintage" by Indiana and is a salad set (it came with a pair of plastic salad servers).
