Topic: pressed uranium vase for id

[Anne]

Paul, I'm agreeing with your suggestion re postwar-1960s.  Marcus didn't recognise mine at all when he saw it a few years ago, which makes SU less likely too.

Most pressed uranium glass, certainly in green, tends to be no newer than 1950s

And Hemah did made pressed glass: insulators at least

Hemah/J.Stolle Niemen made a lot more than just insulators. I can see where Roy's coming from, the base on this piece is very similar to a pressed vase I owned a while ago which had a moulded "HEMAH" (Cyrillic for Niemen/ Nemen) mark on it. That vase was feature in PK a while ago. PK also published a 1920s-30s J.Stolle Niemen catalogue but sadly i don't have the CD to hand (I am in Suzhou PRC but my PK CDs are all still in the UK) . If anyone else here has a subscription to PK maybe they could have a look and see if this vase is featured in the catalogue?

A couple of not so good pictures of the vase I still have which is signed Hemah C3 i think also on base

Steven, thanks for your info. I was mulling over if there might be a connection between Hemah and J.Stolle Niemen so you've confirmed it for me.  I also found it referred to in PK as Glaswerke Julius Stolle, Njoman, so that's worth noting here too for reference.

Roy, your vase appears to be the same as the one Steven is referring to in PK (2007-2), although his is pink not green.

Steven, I don't subscribe to PK but the PDF's I can access don't seem to have the vase Paul and I have.
