No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

I thought Greener at first but it is shown here in the Sowerby Book XI 1885, top of P.2 in round and oval, although it's difficult to see. thewingedsphinx posted a clear one in 2018 with the same identification. Mine has a lot of chips but I'm  ;D

Thanks LinzC, it's been in a local antiques centre for ages and I didn't buy it because of the damage, but I saw it again and couldn't resist it  ;D
