Title: Pastel blue mugs - Nazeing?
Post by: Anne E.B. on October 04, 2019, 01:14:09 PM: My first thought when I got these was perhaps Nazeing. They have a frothy minute bubbly appearance, and the colour seems to match their pastel blue. The frothy appearance is more obvious at the bottom. Bit of a glow when held to strong sunlight. Really well made. Smooth fire polished pontil marks. Am I right I wonder?
TIA ;)

I've also never known their glass to have any sign of a sunset/fire glow - opalescent appearance - so on balance of probabilities I'd suggest these are more recent and not Nazeing. This shade of blue, plus this kind of glass/bubble mix also looks wrong for Nazeing.

I'm not too sure about drinking hot drinks from a glass mug which isn't "Pyrexed" (forgotten what the actual word is, but heatproof ::) ) They might be intended for lemonade or something similar.
Not to worry, I'm not keeping them.
