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.

I don't think WMF Ikora has ever entered my awareness before.

 :o

30 year ago Monart sold as Ikora, twenty years ago Ikora sold as Monart and Monart sold as Schneider, ten years ago nobody had heard of Schneider and any coloured glass was Monart.... this year Christine did not know Ikora. Has to be a story or two in that.

Five years ago Christine had never heard of any glass except, Edinburgh, Stuart and Waterford crystal (and she still can't ID any of those unless it's written on the bottom, though she can take a stab on whether a piece of crystal is decent or not).

And, obviously, whether any bit of glass is good or not!
I've not seen any U-WMF myself, but if I do Christine, it will be yours...... (depending, I suppose, on finances)
