Victorian night light holder???

Leni:
I've got a very similar vase, also not uranium, but which could well be from the same 'family'.  I have always thought it was 'Bohemian'  :roll:  but it could be Stourbridge I suppose.  IMAGE LINK

Sorry for the double post-having trouble again with posts taking ages to appear.
Interesting that your blue lined vase also doesn't contain uranium,Leni.
I have numerous pink lined vases & baskets of similar style that do glow,particularly ones with applied flowers,leaves & fruits.
I do have one blue lined basket that does glow but it is more of a custard colour than this one. Always suspected it of being Walsh Walsh "Electric Blue",but not totally sure.
You'd like it, Leni, as it's studded with lots of rustic bumps & thorns! :)

Paul,

There is no sense doing all of the work of listing, packaging& shipping just to give it away on ebay, so you can just send it to me and at least you will know it went to a good home  :wink:

Seriously;  before you ebay it you might wish to check out the completed ebay auctions for similar items, to see what people have been willing to pay recently. This is only one search and if you get creative with search terms you will likely find more listed. My search was for "Victorian Basket" and then I clicked on "Glass", left side of the screen and from there scrolled down on the same side and searched the "Completed Auctions".

The "Vaseline" pieces in the completeds appear to be the ones that did anywhere near what one would expect. As for this type of glass being popular here in the USA, it was for awhile, but the market has slumped considerably in the last 4-5 years. Like I said above;  the prices in the shops are high, but not much cash is changing hands for these items and that's pretty much what I use to feel confident about the true current value of anything. --- Mike

Shame it has no uranium, I was getting quite excited for a minute. Probably not worth an awful lot. £15-20 max Doesn't seem to be much of a market for them unless much fancier. I think they were just posy baskets or for sweets
