Title: Black amethyst creamer
Post by: aDawn on March 18, 2013, 11:45:10 AM: Happy belated St. Patrick's Day! Or if you're Finnish like me, St. Urho's Day!

Hope you all are doing well. I have another piece of mystery glassware and thought I'd try my luck here.
It's a black glass creamer and when held up to the light you can see the amethyst color shine through. It's got a silver (silver oxide?) scroll decoration and a starburst bottom. It's about 3 inches tall.

As always, any and all help is very much appreciated!

Hm, seems unlikely :/

As for the man with the know it all book up his bottom, does he have a hotline I can call? Because that would be useful...
