No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Interesting - I had never seen a Duralex catalogue but nothing in there surprised me. Anywayz, with more than a month to go for final salvation, I am sure that some company will step in and keep the thing open.

I spotted the bowl I make my porridge in every morning!  I have managed to chip it though!

I identified my oval four-part snack tray and a small daisy and button bowl I have here.  I suspect Steve (Gilead) will find his housewarming party snack-trays in there as well. ;)
