Topic: Chunk of glass (now iridised) dug up in Buckinghamshire

[glasseyed]

Hi Glen

A very interesting find. I find quite a few pieces with iridisation on in my garden - along with interesting bits of pottery. My house dates from the 16th century so I imagine most of it falls within the last 500 years. However on your piece the effect is particularly strong and obviously forms part of a fairly large object. Try comparing the curve to some of your kitchen plates to get an idea of the size.

I would phone your nearest museum to see if they would take a look for you.  :or:

Thank you all so very much for those excellent thoughts and suggestions. I think I'll try my local museum to begin with - I'll report back. Meanwhile, here's a photo that gives the best image I can get of the light green base colour.
