New discovery: Monart uranium glass
nigel benson:
Nice find Gary :) ;)
Cheers, Nigel
Gary:
Thanks Nigel, I am well pleased with the bowl.
The colour scheme (IMHO) shows Salvador at his most creative.
Gary
KevinH:
Gary, your photos of the bowl probably confirm something that has been noticed with some millefiori canes.
The green of the glass in the bowl appears to be like that of a cane centre that has been seen in one or two canes in paperweights. Looks like this is a nod to a cane or two being made using the uranium glass rather than the usual clear glass for the central element.
Lustrousstone:
Looks like yellow uranium to me...
Gary:
With the UV light on the bowl it shows up green, especially where there is clear glass in the bowl (which there is some), and a green hue shows through the original citrine (yellowish) colour of the bowl with UV light.
