Sally P:
HI, I have a gorgeous lustre iridescent swirly glass paperweight in blue and gold colours with a flat pontil but no ID. Possibly I of W studio glass, but can anyone help? Weighs 575 g 7 cm High and 8 cm Diameter at widest.

Thank you

 :) It is Isle of Wight Studio Glass. I'll have to find my book to be able to name the pattern - it looks different on paperweights to other items, and pwts are not my thing. With the swirls pulled into it, it should be something related to one of the Mosaic designs. Which are quite desirable, high-end pieces.  ;D

This is the link to Anton's wiki site of IoWSG. You might find it there. I'll have a look too.

It's a bit like silver mosaic. But I think you have too many colours in it. I'm looking at a large purse vase in silver mosaic right now and trying to compare screen and my lap. ;D

Your weight has greens in it my vase doesn't. But your weight has a clear core - my vase has a base colour of deep purple - almost black.
But Silver Mosaic is about the closest I can get to it. Even the colours of my vase change with the lighting in the room - sometimes it's cold and blue-black silver - in other lights, it has a warm pinkish gold lustre.
But there is no green in it. :)

This is the only Silver Mosaic image on Anton's site:

Silver Mosaic does look very likely, not many other images available online but there is this perfume too:

That perfume bottle is quite a good match for the weight. There is very little Silver Mosaic to be found on line. There really isn't much of it around. I've had my vase out and the more I look at it, the more I think this weight is Silver Mosaic. I do have photos of my vase, but I can't resize them. :'(

chopin-liszt:
 :) I sent images to John for resizing, but he tells me they are already.
The Silver Mosaic is the thing with curly rim edges. The Lollipop bottle is Nightscape.
Under no lighting conditions does my Silver Mosaic produce greens, but you can see that the Nightscape does.
