Another wealth of great information, as we have come to expect of you, AJ. :happy: I knew they treat aquamarine to get it down to that insipid...
I feel this is on the right track, meant for a set of something. (Something of value & want to have at hand.) Is it deep enough for flatware?...
Love them! Fans are another thing I could easily collect, were funds & space unlimited. I'm a sucker for the color family, so the one in blues &...

'Amethyst glass'? Looks black except with light behind, showing then as purple. This is something like it, sold on Ruby Lane. That one is...
