Err, Bohemia and France are two different countries. Bohemia included much of Czechoslovakia and some of Austria.

I really enjoyed looking at your finds as I too love Uranium glass. I have heard people say that they can tell it's Uranium glass just by looking at it but I have been surprised - both ways, on so many occasions. It's great finding a surprise Uranium glass in a boot sale. I really struggle with photographing it because although I go into a completely dark room and don't use a flash, just the UV light I get the glow against an unwanted background of eerie blue. How do others get that lovely glow against a black background as a matter of interest?

I assumed you were referring to the style in which they were made not the country, That has just made life so much harder :huh:

Fen, I have used off cuts of black mountcard (from a picture framers) for a background. You also need to keep the camera steady while it takes the photo so a stout box or a tripod is essential.

At least 50% of glass ID is hard if not impossible.  :24:

I would say I was right 75% of the time, but I do get surprises
