Is this a Stölzle Hermanova trinket ‘set’ matching their 187.. / 188.. range?
exislegirl:
I have this set in green, and it is labelled 'ME - British Made'. Unfortunately, I've never been able to work out how to post photos here, but here is a link to a Picasa Album showing the set:

Interesting. Is it uranium glass or just green?
exislegirl:
It is uranium, but glows a muted yellowish green colour.
Natalie
Lustrousstone:
No, it's not uranium. Uranium glows bright green, not a muted yellowish (that's caused by manganese in the glass).

Thank you for the link to your nice clear photos, Natalie. I'm sure that if you contact a moderator (particularly Anne) they will guide you through posting some of the photos on GMB as permanent references.
The photos certainly confirm that the pieces in my first post are really part of a true 'set', that the lidded pots from the set come in at least two sizes, and that there are at least three colourways (amber, pink, and now green).
The label is a great bonus as a potential identifier, too. The main mystery now is who used this label - I can't recall ever having seen it before.
