Old vase English? Help ID
« on: August 31, 2010, 04:24:50 PM »
Bought this old looking vase a while ago,  I have tried to find a maker for this but failed. The top part of the interior is pink until it passes the neck then it has the same colour of the exterior, Has a pontil mark to the applied clear foot base.

Measure's 8 inches high, all info is appreciated.

Thanks Robert.

Could be English could be Bohemian. Late 19th century and probably uranium glass. If you shine a UV light on it, it will probably glow bright green. You're unlikely to find a maker or a country. The pink is applied by blowing a smaller pink bubble inside the outer layer until it pops and clings to the side.
