Topic: S&W's rainbow for show.

[keith]

Very heavy optic ribbed, most of the colour is in the base, can't resist these ( or anything else recently  )

I just love that shape!  The best one.
I've not bought anything for ages.  Just still trying to id the many pieces with no provenance

Thanks m, if I stopped collecting because of lack of id, I wouldn't have bought anything for the last 10 years !

I haven't stopped collecting just no time for glass this year? at the moment.
and I've discovered I've become picky in my old age ... I'm very specific on what I will buy now

For me it's space that's made me picky, trying to stick to RB'y Studio, S&W's, Webbs and a few choice contemporary pieces, oh and rare Chance glass, not really picky when I think about it is it ?

a little more 'specific' than mine perhaps although I have only have two categories really
'v. old (and that's quite broad in itself but does not encompass ancient glass) coloured or enamelled glass - and therefore interesting'  and
'never seen that before and it's beautiful (any age)'

see my comments above
and this makes v. interesting reading - leaves a slightly uncomfortable feeling
