Sally's images are now added to her post #7 above.

Sally, the blue set is Sowerby pattern 2552 Butterfly LINK and the amber one is Rosice pattern 1868-1874 LINK

The Sowerby one comes in a range of colours, and is a really sturdy attractive set - one of my favourites!

I have only seen the Rosice one in clear glass, so seeing an amber example is interesting. Would you be able to take some photos of each piece for me that I could add to the Glass Trinket Sets website please? It'd be lovely to be able to show this in colour as well as the clear we have there already. Full credit for the images use is always given on the site too. :)

By the way, both sets should also have a pin tray, so you might want to go back through that box of small items you mentioned at the top of the topic and see if they are in it. :)
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd
