Title: S&W's rainbow for show.
Post by: keith on February 28, 2016, 11:54:13 PM

Very heavy optic ribbed, most of the colour is in the base, can't resist these ( or anything else recently  ::) )

Thanks m, if I stopped collecting because of lack of id, I wouldn't have bought anything for the last 10 years !  :o ;D ;D

I haven't stopped collecting :) just no time for glass this year? at the moment.
and I've discovered I've become picky in my old age ... I'm very specific on what I will buy now  ::)

For me it's space that's made me picky, trying to stick to RB'y Studio, S&W's, Webbs and a few choice contemporary pieces, oh and rare Chance glass, not really picky when I think about it is it ?  ::) ;D ;D

a little more 'specific' than mine perhaps although I have only have two categories really ;D
'v. old (and that's quite broad in itself but does not encompass ancient glass) coloured or enamelled glass - and therefore interesting'  and
'never seen that before and it's beautiful (any age)' :-X

Did you go to Malvern Sunday there was a fluted one of these for sale £65.00, similar colour all at the base, very dark, I picked up a tornado vase with a small crack in it for £20 I thought a real bargain.  I've still got this RB bowl but lost all my emails
