TimelessGlass:
Hi,

Are these anything in particular?
7.5" across
Thankyou.

Mosquito:
While these plates share some features with older art glass from Walsh Walsh (Pompeian) or Arculus, I think these particular examples are likely to be modern Mexican or Egyptian recycled glass production. This combination of blue colour and seedy glass is certainly seen in contemporary Egyptian production, e.g.: https://www.minujewels.com/products/egyptian-blue-glass-canteen  https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,42036.0.html

TimelessGlass:
Thankyou Mosquito,

That's really interesting. Having briefly looked at your helpful links, they are indeed very light.
Fortunately they go well with my Mdina😚 Chalice, as the colour is very Mediterranean Azure.
Very helpful, thanks.
