[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 4432231, member: 51"]It's definitely not an antique Saphiret, but going to be an outlier here thinking it maybe the cabs could be a vintage Saphiret, sometimes called Sapphirine. Your photo where the cabs look a bit mocha brown, it does look like it could be Sapphirine. It's hard to tell from a still photo. Does the brown shown sort of move as you change the light? [ATTACH=full]379733[/ATTACH] The other photo where it looks so solid blue, seems to be taken with a super bright flash, maybe? The [U]vintage[/U] ones made in the 50's/60s really have different looks. Some are milky brown with hints of blue, others more like a mirror blue as primary, and just brown when you turn them. These remind me of the more blue ones. I wish I could hold the piece, I could tell you in a heartbeat.[/QUOTE]
