No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection.

Yup, mine's handmade too complete with polished pontil mark on the base. That's why I've made sure it keeps its label as without it you'd never suspect Taiwan!

That base looks very Whitefriars to me. Try the catalogues here http://whitefriars.com/catalogues/ the colour you are looking for is Ruby = R

Is it cased in clear?

Hiya!
