Topic: Duck on Nest - SV mark. ID = Schmid Vannes-le-Châtel France

[catshome]

I've been reading the threads from 2005 about the SV mark and also ducks on nests, and there's a reference to a book which might be coming out and which may have more info on the SV mark.

Does anyone have it and can they help with this little guy please? (5" long x 3" wide x 4.5" tall and very crisp/detailed moulding, and I think vaseline glass)

If you thought your post was late......I have only just seen your reply! Many thanks for the information - I look forward to being able to label the duck as soon as I find the box he iis packed in for the current home move.

It's not vaseline, (which is an american term, and is not really used elsewhere) but I think this opaque green uranium glass is normally called jadite.

Well he just came out of the box before I came away again, so will try him with the UV light when I get home next week.

Just found this interesting piece on SV Hens on Nests (turned out there was a hen on nest in another of the boxes lol)

No reaction to UV light, but agree it's not Vaseline.  The article above has an image of a hen and egg cup in the same glass, but doesn't describe the type of glass.  Jadite sounds right.
