There you go, crossover from glass collecting to jewellery again. ;) There's a nice article here:...
it's aventurine, which is minute gold flecks mixed into the glass recipe.
I like Split so much better than Dubrovnik. The latter is mostly an absolute zoo, determined on extracting as much money as possible. Especially...
Blossom doesn't look right for olives.

Those diamante beads are very very 1980s.
Oh, and the nice thing about Caithness and other glass is that you can spot the individuality. An owl barrel vase, for example, may have...
The glass I'm thinking of - Caithness, for example - was basically freehand. Sometimes, they'd do the first few with a drawn on or transfered on...
