Title: Portieux salt - unusual colour milk glass ID = Portieux "NORMAND"
Post by: Lustrousstone on November 30, 2008, 03:10:01 PM

This cute little Portieux salt is very handily marked  ;) but to look at it you would think it was plastic. It's uranium glass in pale green milk glass but with a pearlised appearance. I haven't seen anything quite like it before, it really does look like plastic; perhaps something that should have an Avon bath cube in it!  :o

You're right thank you Pamela.  ;D I hadn't actually looked for the pattern, I was just fascinated by the pearlised effect. This piece of yours looks the nearest in colour http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/deckeldosen/02526.html (http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/deckeldosen/02526.html)

I feel ashamed, Christine, it's  not photographed, but NORMAND in any case, I would say

knowing I have, can show you matching items, and the one asked is not uploaded?!?!?!
