One to go with the others, olive green this time, ;D
-
I think olive green is perhaps a polite description :P
-
'Tis a bit mucky ::) ;D
-
these things seem almost to be endless in colour variation - mine all given away now, and there's that slightly empty feeling when they've gone - you wonder whether you've made a big mistake, but you can't keep everything - well, Keith seems able to ;D
I notice there seems to be a resurgence in crackle glass - obviously not from RB/S & W - I think it's probably Ikea or similar - and being used as tea light holders or similar - I see them in charity shops etc. quite commonly.
Were we certain that these plain coloured sorts were S. & W.?? this one does look mirky ;)

I do have an amber one that I use to keep all my bottle brushes in. Also a green uranium one, although this does have a slightly different shape - a flared bell-shape and slightly shorter. I thought one of them had 'CELERY' acid-etched to the outer rim, but must be thinking of something similar.
-
no, I'm sure you're right - I've also seen them with the word CELERY.
-
Ah yes, it's the amber one. I was looking so closely at the top of the rim, I completely overlooked it slightly down ::) I'll take my sunglasses off... 8)

Just thought I'd contribute a photo of my two vases.
Left: Amber vase, with celery acid-stamp
Right: Green uranium vase - assuming this is S&W?
