Topic: Another question - is yellow glass particularly difficult to make?

My Medusa was not the best made piece I have ever seen. I had very much doubted a WMF attribution because of that. The pontil scar was not properly round. I've found a pic, but I don't have the piece any more. It was definitely WMF Medusa.

But now, I'm wondering if it was my imagination about the uv orange glow rather than reality.
 
The pic appears to be dreadful too! sorry.

Yes same shape as mine.  I love mine - I'm sure it's Loetz Schaumglas or WMF Medusa.  But I'm not sure which one.

I was able to compare it with a Loetz Schaumglas piece I have in white. The WMF had solid patches of the white frothy surface decor, while the Loetz decor was in a crizzle style pattern all over.
The Loetz is more finely blown, the WMF rather chunky and even a bit clunky in comparison.

Then probably WMF.  Thank you!

Just occurred to me. Webbs and Stevens & Williams Cameo. You get a lot of yellow cameo glass so it is perhaps the cost of producing yellow glass that is the main factor.

Too expensive to produce for mass market in comparison to other colours?

Thanks   That's a very good point.

John Walsh Walsh's primrose is uranium over white, no amber involved and no cadmium, as is Webb's primrose

I'm looking at transparent yellow glass though EW.  I'm curious about the cameo stuff.  It is indeed a yellow base glass with white cut overlay cameo.  Sadly I don't own a piece  so can't check if it was made with uranium rather than cadmium.
I had a straight tube like cylinder vase that looked very like that colour goblet shape though.  Needed it for a display group but it never quite worked for me.  It had a sticker on the base 'made in Taiwan'.  Also had a red one with made in Taiwan on with a stem which I broke 

Lustrousstone - thanks, I'd completely forgotten they were coloured with Uranium glass.
