When was the last time when you found color change glass as a simulant (or bad joke 'stand in') for lighter colored Alex? If the answer is never, this is at least possible. I have never found any note about windex blue/purple color change glass (led crystal)... until the thing found me. :? Here's how:

Box of nice glasses & jug set opened... found to be windex blue instead of light purple! Not from a shop likely to botch it either. :x Looked twice - label says 'purple' - a traditional color for Moser glass. Took glasses out in daylight and away from fluorescent lighting to repackage mess-lessly on the terrass, and they turned purple! :P back in house: windex blue; out again: definitely purple. Mystery solved!

Now I'll have to translate this into that shamefully rusty native language of mine and apologize for the complaint sent back to the shop just before the 'experiment' :oops: ...
