Agree Mystery Set 27 Agincourt.

Christine I'm sure you're quite right but, do you mean all blue glass would photo like that under certain lights?

No. A lot of older glass contains manganese as a decoloriser (it negates the iron that gives the coke bottle green) and that gives a fuzzy dimmish yellowish greenish glow under a UV light. I suspect you find it in coloured glass because the batch recipe starts with the clear glass ingredients and then adds the ingredients for colour. Try your UV light on clear, pink,  amber and non-uranium green. You may need to be in the dark but you will see what I mean: some will glow, some won't.

There is blue uranium glass but that has a knock your socks off UV glow in daylight and is invariably more towards teal

I think the tray with  the pink and blue sets, and the ringholder on the blue set, may be from Anne's Mysytery Set 27.

Agreed, mystery 27 it is. :)  Am still puzzling over the candlesticks...  meanwhile I now have the green tray linked above, thanks to Paul S's kindness & Christine's OH's assistance with delivering it.  8)

GTS Mystery #27 with variant candlholders, 7 piece + footed/pedestal bowls
« Reply #13 on: September 28, 2012, 04:03:59 PM »
Any ideas on who made this 7 piece trinket set please?  An identical tray is seen in amber and green - Mystery Set 27 glasstrinketsets.com
I'm guessing it might possibly be Czech...
Many thanks  ;D

Another GTS Mystery set 27 in blue but with more conventional ‘stick’ candleholders.

Then another GTS Mystery set 27 in an unusual dusky pink, also with the conventional ‘stick’ candlesticks.

The loop-handle candleholders have been seen in other (quite different ) sets, and there is already a topic thread about their occurrence at
http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,48615.msg274021.html#msg274021 Mod: topics merged, new link here:  http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,40764.msg274021.html#msg274021
and [my] post #3 on that thread also has a photo showing, surprise!, the loop-handled candleholders with the GTS Mystery set 27 tray and lidded pots just as in Anne E.B.’s initial post in this topic.

Actually, I've only just noticed that the conventional 'stick' candleholders in these blue and pink sets are different - the bases differ in shape, and the pink set candleholders have a wax catcher plate below the cup on the sconce that is absent in candleholders in the blue set

At least we now know that the GTS Mystery 27 sets come in amber, uranium green, and two shades of pink, and that they can occur with either conventional stick candleholders [perhaps in a variety of different shapes] or loop-handle candleholders, but I don’t think that we are any further on with an attribution whatever the shape of the candleholders.

Hi Fred, the 'conventional' candlesticks are a marriage, it's the looped candlesticks that belong to the set.

I also believe this is a Czech set but no concrete proof as yet. Sets seen in Pink Amber Blue Green and Clear.

Another thread on the set here for merging Mods.

when I click on your link Jayne, the screen tells me the destination/topic is either missing or off limits to me?
