This is a "Spring Green" ogee shaped fruit bowl, with applied foot in the Webb Wave pattern. This is part of the "gay series" glass. Marked "Webb MADE IN ENGLAND" and made 1936-49.

The I don't know what they called all the colours in the "Gay Series" glass, but I do know they call uranium green "Spring Green".

This is an amethyst ogee shaped fruit bowl, with applied foot in the Webb Wave pattern. This is part of the "gay series" glass. Not marked "Webb MADE IN ENGLAND" and but probably still made 1936-49.

Unlike the Spring Green bowl this is not marked. I have heard a lot of people say that most Thomas Webb glass is marked but my experience is that it is not. Even within the same service of glasses you can find that some are marked and some are not. So if someone tells you it has to be marked, they are talking guff.

This is an ogee shaped dessert bowl, with applied foot with control bubble pattern. It is engraved with fish and pond foliage. Marked "Webb ENGLAND" and designed by David Hammond in 1952.

The bowl shape is one that has been going since at least the 1930s, but design is really about the bubbly fishy combination, and it was used on other products like vases. I think these are pretty rare, as I have not seen them other than the ones I have.

We bought these because my wife thought they were really cute and I do as I am told.
