I have put up c. 75% of my Australian collection. I try to put up the signature next to the item. I have also started to put up the rest of the world. If you think I have misattributed an item I would be happy to receive comments directly on my email - so the GMB is not drowned in my boo-boos :pb:

We do need a link, so we know where to look

Under "ahremck" on page 10.

That's not very helpful. I don't even know where to find glassphotographs. Post a link please.
-
I am sorry I did not realise that the site - which is intended for people to be able to put their photos up for others to see, and is directly linked to this site, was not known to all.
http://www.glassphotographs.com/ will get you there. It is free so I suggest you join and have fun seeing some of what other members have in their collections.

Aah, that's because we know it as the GlassGallery and usually go there via this url http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/
-
Aha :hiclp: no wonder you did not know of it. I got there through Angela Bowey's site originally - hence the WWW address.

GlassGallery can be reached via http://www.glassphotographs.com as well as the more usually quoted http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/ - originally it was intended to relocate GlassGallery onto the VPS along with the GMB but the resources aren't sufficient to carry both without causing timeouts, so we've left them split in separate locations with the alternate URL being used from Angela's sites. It's still GlassGallery however you reach it. :)
Ross thank you for adding your images - I know you've been incredibly busy and your pics are a super addition, here's a direct link to Ross's albums: http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/index.php?cat=10901

Nice images - Ross! May I add some additional info - and ask for a favour?
A correction first: Caithness - Conchy is actually only part of the name - complete it is "Mooncrystal".
Additional info: Caithness - Eagle over the Mountain is officially named "Eagle Dome".
You'll find both weights mentioned on ScotlandsGlass (http://www.scotlandsglass.co.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=159&Itemid=51).
Just a comment: for Caithness - Seal I can find the signature only - image of the weight itself seems to be missing.
And finally my request ;) : Iceberg (Ross Young 1988) is a commissioned weight and doesn't show up in any of my sources. We would therefore be very grateful if you would let us use your pictures of this weight for the catalogue. Let me add that we will list you as copyright owner, of course, with your full name and an URL (e.g. your ebay shop) if wanted.
Thanks and best regards - Wolf Seelentag

Have upgraded the data and added the Seal pwt. I am happy for you to use the Iceberg photos as you see fit. As a collector at present I don't yet have an URL - I am thinking about it since I wish to in the longer term edit some of my collection - but not just yet.

Wolf do you have a name for my Caithness Seal. He does not exist in Colin Terris's book. I would assume it would be from around 1976 as it to is engraved by Douglas Cowie and has similarities to Eagle Dome.

I have never seen this Seal paperweight: does the signature (next to Scotland) read DC 78 - which would most likely indicate Douglas Cowie and 1978?
There are quite a few such "Dome" weights between 1976 and 1991 - several of which don't show up in any of my sources.
Eagle Dome is the only one not directly related to some sort of sports - but this also exists in blue, not only the "official" brown version.
Then there is (what I call) "Equestrian Dome" - linking sports to an animal.
There also is (what I call) "Pheasant Dome" - including the name "Sandringham", which makes me believe it was made on a customer's request.
Your "Seal Dome" could be on a customer's request as well - or Douglas Cowie just produced one as trial piece, ...
