possible id for Uranium vases.
Paul S.:
thought they might have been Sowerby - especially with that saw-tooth top rim, and the very yellowish green colour - but don't see them on the CD. Probabaly bit of a long shot, and guess they may have come from just about anywhere. Something like 5.25"/135mm tall. If anyone does recognise the design would be grateful for a shout, and thanks for looking. :)

Paul S.:
thanks very much Michelle - and have to admit I would never have dated them that far back........just goes to show. I was thinking they were something like 1930 ish. :pb: So, a rather enigmatic provenance then, unfortunately. Never quite sure why I continue to buy some of this uranium glass, but I guess once smitten etc. I see these pieces and tend to buy rather on an impulse, I must have a shed full of the stuff - although this pair do glow with real class. I guess they will go out at some point when I need the space. Thanks again for your time :)

Paul, I'd keep these really lovely uranium vases if I were you, and get rid of that junk behind them... :P
