I have only seen it 3 times on large bronze, one at a fair, (but it was near 900 quid so i did not buy it), and there is another large one on Ebay at the minute, the three other small ones i have are not marked.

After speaking to Charles Hajdamach he said Webbs also made a purple coloured base bronze much rarer than the green.

When you say purple would that be a 'purple-blue' or just purple ? as I have this unidentified piece,  ;D ;D
