Topic: confirmation for Webb's 'bulls eye' pattern.

[Paul S.]

No glow under the torch, unfortunately, and seems poorly made - with the rim being out of circular, and the base (ground flat) a bit rickety, with the whole thing leaning to one side.     Looks as tho it shud be Webb's 'bulls eye'  -  but I can't get the pics. on David Encill's site to work  -  and believe most of this pattern made in either amber, clear, or uranium.            Quite a good circular ground/polished concave pontil mark, and quite a bit of wear  -  and looks as tho it must be at least 50 - 70 years old (or more).    Nearly 5"/120mm in diameter.   If it is Webb's, why do I almost never seen green, since that appears to have been a common colour for much glass pre 1945 ish??    All thoughts welcome, and thanks for looking??

Hello Paul,doesn't look quite right to me but I have been wrong before this is my first green one for you to compare

Paul's look more like Spring Green; not all Spring Green is uranium. Don't know if it is Webb though.

[Paul S.]

thanks to both of you for your thoughts.          I agree, it doesn't quite look like Webb's green, so I still remain uncertain.   I will look thru some books during the week for other outputs that produced this bulls eye effect (that's if there are any).    I have a number of Webb's amber bowls and a couple of clear pieces, and this doesn't quie look the ticket.

It's not a colour issue. There were two shades of green for the Webb's Bullseye: Evergreen, which is what Keith has, and Spring Green, which is what yours might be.

thanks for the explanation - much appreciated
