Topic: Help! Lovely red vase which glows orange in UV light.

[mich19uk]

Hi I have recently brought this vase and was after some more information on it. It is approx 20cm high. It is a rich red colour and when in a uv light there are certain areas on it that glow up orange/yelow. See pictures below.
Can anyone tell me the maker and any info?

Many thanks

Thanks Ann that is really helpful. Do you have any ideas or the maker?

[Anne]

Not a clue, sorry. It's not my area at all.

Does anyone else know anything about this vase? Any possible suggestions would be interesting.
Thanks

Does anyone think that this may be Fenton?

Be patient, it might takes days or weeks or even months to get an answer. Not everyone visits every day so give them time please. Bumping your topic every day will just irritate people.

Anchor Hocking might be an option

Hi all

These are my Anchor Hocking vases, so it would be safe to say their similar!

They do look very similar thanks for the suggestion.

Does your vases glow in UV light as well. On the inside on mine it almost looks like there is a yellowish milky coating! Its really pretty, I would say it looks like a flower.

Thanks for your help.
