That I would expect but the base colour is yellow. Kev is talking green. This has uranium in two canes but pale yellow I think, it's very difficult to tell (the green bit isn't uranium in those two canes) http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=1832

Hmm, yes ... or no .. ???

The cane centres in weights (all two of them) that I have seen were an obvious transluscent bright yellow-green and they reacted quite strongly to longwave UV (again with a bright yellow-green colour). In Gary's bowl, I see the colour of the main parts as "translucent yellow-green", hence my comments.

Hi,

It seems to me that the IG bowl is a difficult thing to photograph to show the green uranium that I suspect is the base colour. I think it's being masked by the ochre and bubbling as well as the slabs of yellow and orange/red enamel decoration.

Oh, try clicking on the third image down here: http://www.20thcentury-glass.org.uk/

Check the green glow to the lower right of the image.

The Monart green uranium I have seen was definitely green - that looks like what I call pure uranium and much more yellow than green, especially when out of daylight

OK, I was just trying to help (having handled the piece) - which is great to photo as an item, but not to show what we're discussing here.

0OOh - yours has the same cloisonné effect - it's like a cross of my FA and OE!  ;D (pictures to be added later)
I didn't expect that.
Does it glow green or is it yellow - looks like it should be yellow somehow. Didn't expect it to be that size either  - is it quite thick glass?
Wow  ;D

It glows green with UV torch in the dark.
It is fairly thick glass even for Monart, I have noticed with shape N( the ones I own or have handled) they tend to be thicker than normal.

Thanks Carolyn it is a stunning colour scheme, among one of Salvador's finest.
