I found something recently which got me pretty excited...  but it was on the Internet (on Allegro).  I bid on and won a boxed set of Hortensja 'pandora' glasses.  They're much more impressive in real life than I thought they would be.  :)

Hi,I was well chuffed to find a Webb wave decanter the other day with ,at last,a signature from 09 to35 and I'm now going to recheck all my Webb glass because it's so small and thin!it's close to the wear marks and I can easily see how many get lost.

Beijing Antique Mall in May, 2014:
loads of wood carvings, ceramics, china, lacquer ware, embroideries, paintings, coins etc. - and one single piece of pressed glass  ;D

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

Just as a reference to folk as green as me and it has to be turned at angles to be seen!

I would have thought this particular T/Webb backstamp was on the Board's 'Glass Gallery, but haven't checked.
Regret to say that what little we can see doesn't really convey much idea of what the full mark should look like  -  may we also see a pic of the whole decanter, please :)

I did like Anne's mirrors - very stylish.
