Thank you for posting and making these images Paul.  It's a weird mind-trick,  but when I see the images on their own I find it extremely hard to imagine what the glass actually might look like, but then as soon as the real piece is side by side with the image they look exactly the same and I wonder why I couldn't imagine it before.

It's not a particularly good image, but the V&A have one of the Rd 119975 piano insulators in their collection.

Colours For reference as I just found a nice dark blue one although unmarked it matches the other 3 I have which come with a lozenge. Regards Mike

I’ve also seen one in amethyst.
