Paul, I am currently srtruggling to read or type ANYTHING, relying completely on auto-pilot and residual adrenalin from the Scottish Glass Conference for everything. It snot fair to be bad to me, only trying to hwelp,. snifgf.  :cry:

whoa (I think that means halt, or some such similar meaning Sue)  -  heavens, I was never meaning to be serious - sorry if it came across rather heavy.   -  I'm the one who overlooks these things usually.   Couldn't even find this bowl in my own books - how dim is that.   There, there, now dry your Scottish eyes, and apologies from a Sassenach.

I'm just making a meal of it and teasing you Paul,  :kissy:
And rubbing it in about having been at the Conference which was fantastic.
I feel very sorry for antbody who wasn't there.

here are the results of uv light reaction on this bowl  -  so am guessing selenium  -  which apparently when used alone produces a pink colour in soda glass.   Am I on the right lines??
