You say tomAto but I say tomAHHto but we both see the same object. mold/mould MS spell check highlights mould when typing to indicate an error. I will retrieve my dictionary from the boot of my lorry and look up the answer.

Alan: Perhaps my use of the mold spelling caused the discussion. I would suggest “mould” (which by the way comes up underlined with spell check) is the English variation. Fay Tooley’s Handbook on Glass Manufacturing uses the mold spelling and I would not argue with Mr. Tooley.

Hello all

Just to put in my 2 cents…I have a lemonade set in shiny ivory w/black handles and a large ivory Stamford vase. The color is not very yellow and is similar to pale custard glass and very close to Webb’s ivory.
