    A beautiful Creamer and Sugar from Westmoreland Glass. These 1970's reproductions of Westmoreland's original Strutting Peacock Creamers and Sugars, were originally produced between 1900 and 1910. Even as reproductions, the quantities and the finishes are limited. The Strutting Peacock pattern was only used with Creamers & Sugars. The originals were not marked, the repro's were marked with the WG logo.

      That gorgeous blue with the foamy opalescence, man, that is some beautiful glass!

      I ran my U.V. flashlight over this pair and got a very unexpected surprise. All the lighter, Opalescent areas of the pieces were glowing Dark Blue, almost Purple. This tells me that they used Selenium in the areas of opalescence. I don't know if this is common practice, or even if this is common knowledge. Anyone have any U.V. Selenium thoughts? I put a new side by side showing the glow. Thanks to all.

      Westmoreland called this blue opalescent color "brandywine" when introduced in 1964 with several reissue patterns. I have a brandywind Ring & Petal cake stand. To me it looks like the white opalescence is simply trying to reflect the purple light of the black/UV light.
    8. Deano Deano, 2 years ago
      Been thinking about this. I think it is a U.V. reaction. Manifested by the purple and dark blue in the areas of opalescence which I show in the comparative photo. This isn't Uranium, this is Selenium. There are no light reflections in the opalescent blue areas which demonstrates that the coloring is coming from the reaction of the Selenium to the light inside the glass. Because the glass changes color under the light, that makes it U.V. reactive. That's my take and I'm sticking to it, for now. lol.
