Unusual uranium vase similar to a chevron but not??
« on: March 26, 2010, 09:06:52 PM »
Bought this lovely quirky preesed glass vase today its a pale green but glows brightly still, Measuring 5" tall and really smooth no mould lines hardly really well finished. At first i though it might be a different form of a chevron vase but not anymore i havent been able too find it anywhere in the same form?? Any ideas where its made or who by anybody thankyou.. :thup:

Hi Dan, I've one of these in clear glass but haven't managed to trace a maker yet. The green is more interesting than the clear, but they are very nice vases. That green makes me wonder even more if they may be Czech, although Marcus didn't recognise them as such when I asked him a while back.
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd

Dan & Anne — That foot is very Inwald, see here for example.

If it really does glow a very bright, i.e., it is uranium glass, I might expect that very pale green to be Brockwitz.

That foot is common on German and Czech pressed glass vases Bernard
