Hi , I can not Waite any longer. As i can not post you the pictures just yet i will tell you about them . They are . Height 85 mm, Width 140 mm. They are i think Victorian, Green blue with a pink internal casing  with applied amber rim and feet, and yes they glow green under black light .The feet have a leaf motif. I have discovered that they are from the  Stourbridge area perhaps Thomas & Webb . :or:

 :hiclp: Hi Robert -- Can you take them in Brighter light?  Not sure if it me, or my screen, or my eyes  but it is hard to tell the color as everything kinda has a tint of blue to it...maybe it it just me here

Rose the blue effect is caused by the fact that blue light bends(refracts in air) more than red light.  This means that photos taken under the eaves of a house are always slightly blue.  This just looks like an extreme example.

Could I suggest Robert that you need to take them in direct sunlight - but a dull day will cut down shadows and reflections dramatically and produce a better result.  Side benefit is that the extra light will cause your camera to "stop down" which has the added benefit of improving the focus.

Taking photos so that the bowls are in the light from the window against a plain pale background but you are between the window and the bowls, i.e., facing into the room, might work too. Check that your camera is set to auto white balance.
