My leafy plate as promised for Hywel

This used to be my mother's pride and joy - it was already old when she was given it as a wedding present (1951) by the farmer's wife she used to work for.

Mum would be pleased that you like it TT - it's glass and changes colours in the light

Very pretty is it petrolium effect Bohemian glass?

I honestly wouldn't know Drc, but it certainly does glisten like petrol in the sunlight ...

Very pretty. I've seen something similar called Carnival glass but yours looks more exotic with its leafy pattern.

That's pretty....

Hey, do you all reckon I may have a priceless heirloom there ????

Do you remember a programme called "Going for a song" or something like that, where people had to guess the price of old objects ??

Could be, Hywel, I believe carnival glass pre 1940 is much more valuable than the later pieces! I remember 'Going for a song', it started with the mechanical bird in a cage. I used to enjoy it :)

I remember it too...

Sorry, I've called you 'Hywel', Terry! My fingers going quicker than my head :)

I believe it's the same glass as the dish I have. I'll put a photo of it over the week end.

Coming into the present for a moment, this picture doth console me for the absence of blue campanula.
