I know a very good home for them... and think that they might just be creeping into the 20th century. They don't look quite as old as Michelle's style wise.

Hi Paul
Your Uranium Vases pattern as a look of a G Davidson Reg design No 254027 have a look at http://www.cloudglass.com/r18911900.htm in the Davidson registered design page I have a number of shapes and sizes most of my pieces mine have the Reg No in relief on the inside.
Paul S.:
Hello Tony, and thanks for your interest and comments :) - although the answer, regrettably, is that mine are most definitely not the same pattern as Davidson 254027. I do appreciate that it is not easy to see the surface clearly on these vases, but in fact the 'diamond' pattern on them is elongated, and comes to a quite sharp projection, unlike the milk jug which certainly appears to have flatter diamonds. I think I am possibly correct in saying that, outside of this yellow pearline, Davidson did not produce very much glass with a U. content and, as you say, most of thier production from that period does carry a Rd. No. - and despite running my fingers around these vases umpteen times, I can say quite safely that they are minus any sort of No. I am now an expert at finding Rg. Nos. and Rg. Diamonds on glass - having failed miserably in the past, and had to ask for help - they can often be amazingly difficult to locate, and even a large diamond impression with its letters and Nos. - on clear glass - can elude the most careful eye - that is not a GMB eye of course :24:

I concur with Paul. These are definitely not pattern Rd. 254027. I have 20 pieces of that pattern (17 of them in Primrose Pearline) and this is NOT the same pattern. The diamonds on the 254027 have a pattern on top of each diamond. I am strongly thinking that if you give one of these vases a flick with the fingernail on the top rim, it will have a bell tone. If so, you could even go back to 1865-70 as a time period.

Mod: error fixed; wording changed to "not the same pattern".
