It's about 60mm tall, has a slightly textured Iridescent finish and uneven matt base.

Thanks Christine! Not one I've heard of - I get the feeling it will be murder to find out any more.

Hi there.

I also have a similar Midsummer weight.

And I think we've been round this before.

e.g. an earlier GMB thread at

Cheers

Keith

Midsummer Glass is Dillon Clarke - one of the original students at the RCA who trained with Sam Herman when he took over there, back in the late '60s.
