Topic: Miniature Vase

[cjones]

This miniature vase is only 7Cm's high - 2Cm's at rim, 2.5Cm's base (smooth) 3.5Cm's widest diameter. Has swirls of white and blue - I would appreciate any help
Thank you

It looks very like Bimini to me. Is it very thin and lightweight?

[cjones]

It weighs 55 grams glass is quite thick

I'm better at ounces once we get above one gram. 
(Grams and fractions of them are good for small measurments in labs - lousy for cooking or anything bigger.)

It still looks like a Bimini style, with the bulge in the neck, and seems to me to be very well made.
But I think we need a Bimini enthusiast to confirm or deny.

55grams is 2 oz for the uninitiated.
I think you might want to look at Paşabahce too.

[cjones]

Thanks I'll do that

Sometimes an ounce is 28.something-that-goes-on-for-not-quite-as-long-as-pi grams;
other times it appears to be 32 grams.
I think it's somewhere inbetween those. It's never accurate.
I can't think in multiples of grams. My brain is imperial.

Sue, many moons ago I posted copy of a page of my old Langenscheidt dictionary

1 ounce Avoirdupois = 28,35 g and 1 ounce Troy = 31,1035 g 

read about Avoirdupois and Troy here

I found it interesting that tea tasters like my husband still use the Troy pennyweight as measure for the amount of tea to brew for testing

Fascinating, Pamela, thank-you!
How interesting to know a tea taster, far less be married to one. He will understand your fascination with nuances of differences between things!

But do we weigh glass in Troy or Avoirdupois?
Troy is for precious metals.
