I think your glass collection has reached critical mass Keith, it is generating gravity and attracting even more glass, once over the front event horizon door it can no longer escape.

Very nice shading though.  ;D

Hello m, yes it was, the camera I have, cheap digital, takes better pictures with it on, the actual colour is just a little lighter, if I turn it off everything has an odd red tinge. I do have access to a fancy SLR but have no idea how to use it  ::) ;D ;D
Paul, must be getting close to it !  ;D

OK thanks.  Is it a very deep colour on the interior though?

oh, that is very very pale isn't it?  Looks as though it was overcased in white quite a way up the bowl.  I have one piece that looks pale pink on the outside compared to my other pieces but when you lift the lid it is deepest brightest pink on the interior.
I have one other piece that has quite a bright pink middle to top but then is fairly pale from the middle down to the foot.
Very interesting how they combined the colours with the white alabaster.
