Alison,
they are quite nice, ive seen a discussion on them somewhere,
I think they are Czechoslovakian circa 1930s, someone else may know which company.
I will try and remember,

Have you tested it under a UV light to see if it glows bright green? And what is the base like?

You need a little UV light, either an LED one or a strip light of the sort for testing banknotes with. A base pic would be good though please

Hi Alison,
thats a nice set, theres plenty of Bohemian/Czech collectors on here who may be able to tell you more.
Cheers
Andy

hi

according to Truitt: Bohemian Glass Vol2

these kind of pieces appear in the 1930 catalogues of both Palda and Hosch

they may have made them or just retailed them

Cheers

Mike

Nice pieces, but not uranium glass judging from the base pic. I too would go with Bohemian.
