A bit of showing off
chopin-liszt:
It's really hard to tell from those images. ???
glassobsessed:
Sorry Sue, I just added another link.

chopin-liszt:
The colours really do come out differently on almost every single piece, don't they?
I see there is a fingerbowl underplate the same shape as yours, but almost no colour at all - just goes from clear and yellowy through to blue.
My complaint was more about the sort of pictures taken (not showing the glass to its best advantage, unlike yours ;) ) and the difficulty of even seeing them in that silly moving, jerky enlargement box bit...
Ivo:
So what are we thinking about this amber-to-amethyst one then? Is it related? It is optical blown, has a height of 15 cm (6") and a diameter on top of 12. There is a neatly polished pontil mark on the bottom.
chopin-liszt:
The colours are unusual and lovely, Ivo - but it's a very thick and solid sort of beast, isn't it?
All other Webb's Alexandrite I've seen is incredibly finely blown... ???
It really doesn't seem to me to be related - just from a manufacturing point of view.
