bright sunshine is making the colours look pale and hard to photograph accurately, the base is really a lemony green
is it ?

Wow! :shock: It's very pretty!

What unusual colours! A nice change from pastel pinks and blues :wink:

Definitely a Vasart weight, and I'd say it's early Vasart - from the Ysart Brothers years (1946 - 1955). Probably made by Salvador Ysart.

There do seem to be two groups of early Vasart weights - those with rough finishing to the base and those with better grinding / polishing. This is one of the better ones. Apart from a couple of minor points, the cane setting in this weight is good.

Hi Leni,

I'm glad you like my new weight, it really does look different in the glass rather than in a photo.
I also must take this chance to thank you for pointing out this board to me ages ago, I should have joined way back then :oops: :oops:
I hope that you don't mind if I still refer to you as "My friend" :twisted: :twisted:

Hi Kev, Your time and experience are much appreciated, Thanks for identifiying another one for me , Salvador will do fine.

Hi Leni,
We have never met in person, only through email,
I hope I wasn't presuming, :cry: :wink:
I first called you "my friend" a while back over a Perthshire millefiori heart paperweight bought on Ebay which you had wanted but missed bidding on for some reason, you ended up with it anyway,

Ringing any bells yet :twisted: :twisted:
You very kindly emailed me later to congratulated me on my winning a small clichy weight that everybody else had missed

and suggested that I have a look at this board. I have been ever since, it just took me a while to register. :oops: :oops:
