It's definitely European, as Scotland is still in Europe... but it may not be Scottish. I'll leave that to the experts to comment on.

Looks a bit like that stuff they call 'cellophane' got a piece myself in brown as yet unknown maker but good quality, in my opinion, ;D

I reckon Frank's "Cellophane" too.
(Our Frank Andrews coined the phrase to describe this glass.)

Thanks guys
Sould of specified continental europe but if the snp get their way who knows?

I've just noticed, you say this is on its way to you - do you own the copyright of the photograph you posted, or do you have permission from the person who does own it, to post it?
The board could get into legal problems if it's not yours to post.
We also tend to try to avoid politics here. It can cause trouble.
-
Yeah i have taken the photo myself when viewing the piece the owners gave permission so im sure its ok to use
and so sorry just a pre election joke
hope ive not offened

If it's your own pic, nae t'other a' ba'. ;)
Purple and green is a slightly unusual colour combination for cellophane - and a very nice one too - one with political overtones of its own.
Green and White and Violet stood for Give Women the Vote. It eventually even happened. :)
