Title: Isle of Wight Golden Peacock?
Post by: chriscooper on January 28, 2012, 12:40:38 PM

Had a look through the Mark Hill book similar egg shaped weight page 99 am I correct thinking this is Golden Peacock? 1980s

Looks more blue in the base photo but it is green.

No, Chris is correct: Golden Peacock in the second phase of colourways, with the dark green colour (http://iowstudioglass.wikidot.com/goldenpeacock (http://iowstudioglass.wikidot.com/goldenpeacock)). The colour was used from 1987 to 1998, but this paperweight was made between 1987 and 1991 (triangular label).
