Any thoughts on this one, a lot of base wear but heavy, 2.7 kg.
32 cm in diameter and 16 cm in height.
regards Chris.

Webb Flair?
-
It looks like Webb's 'Flair' range to me, too. I posted one in a similar colour but different shape a few years ago here (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,47967.msg270169.html#msg270169). You'll see that mine has a prominent maker's mark that is acid etched.
Other examples can be found in that thread and by searching on the board.

Similar shape to mine but your bubbles are all over, ::) ;D ;D
-
No wonder I could not find it searching Scandinavian glass. It now has pride of place on my favourite window sill (until something else comes along), thanks all.

Found today (I'm not going to mention the price) another pair of Alexadrite Flair's?. The shape look right to signed one's online in a different colour but the base is polished flat.
6 inches and 6 3/4 inches in diameter.
They go from purple in daylight to blue under a standard energy saving bulb.
Not signed.

I don't think those are Webb Flair for two reasons: no crystal casing and that they are neodymium glass. I might go for Czech
-
Ok thanks for that Christine, I still have an awful lot to learn, they all copied each other that's the problem.
-
Webb did do 'flair' bowls but were a slightly different shape and what Christine said ;D ;D
-
Here's my ruby one :-[ ::) ;D that's virtually the same weight as yours, Chris at 2.77kg. The bubbles are confined to the ruby core.
-
Which one is Webbs?.
One has a rough pontil, one has a flat polished base and the other a smooth polished concave base signed Webbs.
-
Big one on the left at the back ? ;D
-
Nope, the big one has a rough pontil and wear to the top, I think used as a match striker.
-
Could still be a Webb piece, one similar, marked, ;D
