Largest I've seen so far, 8.5 inches across and 5 inches tall, are there any larger ?  ;D ;D

That's nice Keith. I don't recall seeing those before.

Nice varied collection.
Are they all designed by Iestyn Davies?

The red one is under the Dark Crystal Range according to the link here.
Looks like the others are all under Impressions Range:

This small finger vase is also part of the range.  It has a butterfly landed on a flower.  c.15cms long.

I also have 4 Pink Impressions, 3 Green, and 2 Ebony & Gold.

Impressions is by Iestyn Davies. It is remarkably similar to IoWSG Meadow Garden, and he trained there.  ;D
He also designed Ebony and Gold, which bears some resemblance and shares techniques to and with IoWSG Gold Azurene.

I have seen the smaller Impressions bowls this size popped on top of other matching bits, as a lid.
I do believe you have the biggest size there, Keith. :)

We also have a thread where all the different colours of Dark Crystal are illustrated. I do not know who designed that.

John's initial discovery, it's the only green Dark crystal piece known. It belongs to my wee brother now.
We can't understand why green was so rarely made - it's really lovely.  :)
The blue is a bit yukky and "out of focus". Only small pieces in blue have ever been found.

I love the green blue and red and the designs.  That's a very successful range in terms of colour, decor and shape in my opinion.
They're lovely.

This is all Stuart-Strathearn, the tail end of Ysart glass, before Perthshire: not Stuart per se.

All together now with a couple of 'non Stuart' pieces to fill the gaps  ;D
