Topic: Shot glasses (for Robbo and Martyn K and Pip)

Hi Chris, as we don't yet know who Jones imported from, anything's possible!  The latest tots with the Astra label on are nothing like the iridescent ones so you guess is as good as mine. I keep rummaging around to see what else I can turn up about them - one day we may get a breakthrough.  

I think worn iridescence may indicate a surface treated type rather than a fired in type. Mine aren't worn, but I have some others which were iridescent, and were washed in the dishwasher and are now totally clear glass - no shine at all!    (I'm trying to remember if we've discussed this before and think we may have - I'll have a search.)

Yes please, if you can move the bits off to new topics, as we have a confirmed Whitefriars, a possible French, and a could be anywhere all in the same topic which will surely cause a headache to archive.  . Thanks Chris.
