<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 37713, member: 59&quot;]After I saw Bdigger&#039;s Heisey Alexandrite thread, I finally got around to taking pictures of a set of 6 dessert plates and sherbets that I&#039;ve had since the 80&#039;s. Purchased at an antique show that was fluorescent lit, the plates and the bowls of the sherbets looked light blue. (The sherbet stems are crystal.) But when I got home, they looked a purple violet color and no longer matched my other dinnerware. So I&#039;ve never used them, but I still love the look.</p><p><br /></p><p>The pictures of the purple violet color were done under LED spot lights and are pretty good at showing the color. The only fluorescent blubs in the house are CFLs in a table lamp and the blue is less intense and less true to what my eyes see through the viewfinder. Perhaps because the glass is so thin? When they are in the cabinet with no direct light they look more purple.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]9500[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]9501[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]9502[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]9503[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I would love to know the maker and what they called this color.</p><p><br /></p><p>The plates are 6 1/8 inches across and have a slight optic effect. The under rim on them is nicely polished.</p><p><br /></p><p>The sherbets stand 4 1/8 inches tall and are 3 1/2 inches across the top of the bowl. As I said above the stems are crystal and the balls (full and half) feel cut to me. The points are very sharp. The glass of the bowls is thin and the top edge is not a safety edge like on drinkware.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what can anyone tell me or suggest for further research? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
