Topic: Uranium Glass Identification? Whitefriars??

[Sussex_Oast]

Hello All
Having a spot of bother identifying my Uranium Glass collection! I have no source books on them and frankly no idea where to start! I feel that this might be Whitefriars but I cannot find a solid record of Whitefriars Uranium pieces. Can anyone help with this?
Many thanks
Simon

Welcome Simon,you've come to the right place,lots of WF's buffs (they don't like being called experts) afraid I'm not one of them despite having a few pieces

Hi and welcome  :hi:
We have a fair few folk here intersted in Uranuim glass of all sorts - who may be able to help - but it would be much easier if we could see the piece without the dark lighting!
A profile shot, a shot of the rim and of the base, with the details being visible are what we need - but we also need to see what colour the glass is without the uv thing - uranium glass comes in many, many colours.

Cheers Keith! I've been reading the glass message board for years but never got round to putting some of my pieces on! Hoping now I have organised my time better I can take more of an active role! :t:
I've got about 800 pieces so it should keep me busy identifying them!

must admit that I had also pondered the question of whether W/Fs. had ever produced uranium glass - Jackson doesn't include it in her glossary of term - and I don't recall seeing reference to uranium on the Whitefriars.com site  -  but could, of course, have missed it.    Is anyone able to enlighten us?       I wasn't aware that real uranium glass came "in many, many colours".   Anyway, nice piece Sussex_Oast, and welcome to the GMB

Many Thanks Paul!
I am aware that Whitefriars did make a lot of Uranium glass but I have only seen selected images of it and even then very few are confirmed as being definately Whitefriars. I also have to say that from the few pieces of Uranium glass which I do have it is in a few different shades from pale yellow to vivid green possibly that might help to identify it?  :X:

 :hiclp: :hiclp:  Very Pretty.

I do not know the maker, but I have seen some Fenton glass (ruffed) and go from pale green.  I think it is called (??) Vaseline Opalescent.

Just throwing this out there, and stand to be corrected.... :spls2:

apologies Simon  -  obviously I'm short-sighted tonight  -  hadn't seen that you had included your name at the end of the post.
