« on: March 28, 2011, 01:39:51 PM »
This tumbler is almost 100% isn't wilson but has the same sort of attributes if a little different in shape its base has the same sort of bluish tinge also, The height is 3 1/4" rim 2 1/2" interestingly it isn't ground but has a slight beaded rim?? I got the set of 6 for £1 so im pleased anyway just would like to know if anyone knows of others that made similar design glasses to Stennett-Willson???

I don't know who made it, but it looks like it might be neodymium (alexandrite) glass. Try looking at it under flouresecent light vs incandescent light. If it looks blue under flourescent and lavendar under incandescent, you'll know it's neodymium. I thought about neodymium because you described it as blue tinted, but the picture looks purple tinted.

I'd be interested to know as we have a set of these for everyday and they are in a dark grey/very dark purple glass.  I'm pretty sure they are exactly the same design.  I love them.
