Did you find all three Webbs in one place?

[keith]

Yes,my favourite little antique shop in Lye.

Interesting - I thought I'd got all examples of Bullseye, but that tall vase is one that has eluded me!

[keith]

Have always wondered how many shapes and sizes they made,can only find it in amber,this is the rest of the 'Bullseye' collection,also have  Webbs decanter,two amethyst 'wavy' bowls,small and large,an amethyst and clear vase and a matchstriker/candlestick/paperweight in amber and clear and a number of possible unmarked pieces,Keith.

Webb's also produced clear Bullseye: this was probably only after 1945. Prior to the WWII it may have produced green - almost certainly in uranium glass. (Darned if I can find my old Webb's catalogue, but it's here somewhere...)

Apart from the waved-ribbed range, there's also the Flair range from the 60s - I have a few of these.

'Art,Feat and Mystery' mentions clear,sunshine(amber)spring(green)and evergreen(old 'Bristol' green) none,apart from amber,have I ever seen,I would like to see the pieces cut with waterlily design or in crystal.
   Always wondered if this was Webbs,10 ins' high,very heavy with polished pontil,Keith.

Your amber isn't Sunshine Amber, that's much more yellowy and is uranium glass; I think older Springtime may be too. There is an ad in the new Hajdamach on P141, 20th Century British

 I treated myself to this at the National in November   It's 7 inches tall BTW

[keith]

Very nice,that book is next on my list,unless a piece of glass catches my eye first,Keith.

Shown here is a 1945 advert showing the clear Bullseye range and a monochrome promotional photo of the same year.
