Topic: Help Id Mediterranean? Middle Eastern? art glass vase. ID = Hebron Glass

And this is all precisely why I am obsessed with what silver, glass and heat can do together.
 
I've always been sure Chalcedony involves silver. I've never managed to get my hands on any really old stuff though. I found some new stuff when I was in Germany, made in Alexandria by Ahmed Fouad, perhaps about 10-15 years ago. His chalcedony stuff doesn't seem to appear now.
I did a bit of a search for him, and found this thread. John gave me the little Hebron posy in question. (thank-you again!)

Referring to reply #9  this image should show what I mean about the transparency:

Lots of silver "doing its thing" there.
