Topic: Ebay Bargain?

[dinklepip]

Aquired these recently from a seller who said she has found them in a loft, usual clearout line  .  Have never actually seen these in a triangular form.  Any ideas on age and maker?  Got them for 99p heheheh

I saw these too...I wasn't sure about the pink faded colour or the shape...I couldn't pin them down.  :huh:

mmmm that's why I bought them never having come across the triangular shape opening before

Sorry to ask this, but ... which part(s) of the vases is/are "triangular"?

[paradisetrader]

@99p they're a bargain whatever they turn out to be.
Ok triangular / square .... obviously the same in your universe ....no matter. It is unusual for this type but not nec cause for suspicion IMHO.
The crackling is quite fascinating. I've never seen such sparse crackle before. Crackling was popular in Victorian era which is when these would like to belong. Proving that is the next part.
The first thing I'd do it put them under black light. If positive (green glow) thats most likely a good sign.
I am inclined to think Bohemian but others here will know better than I.

Not all Victorian (or earlier) clear glass will be green under longwave uv, and lots of 20th century clear glass will be. So I don't think this is a "positive" test.

Pete's thinking they might be uranium glass, I think.

Rubena Verde, um, is it?

Certainly a bargain if they are old.

These look a bit like Libbey "Amberina," so I'll see if I can find the shape in the catalog we have here.
