regret to say they are not..........so sorry for you.         Are they showing in focus on your screen before you post them?        Perhaps someone with good camera skills will look in and try to help you.

quote.................."Please bare with me"...........would love to but this is a family show, and we have to be mindful of the under sixteens (and the over 65's)

Please tell me these are better

second pic. of the base is nice and sharp - good quality, well done...............although side shot of swan appears out of focus still.      However, this should not prevent an id, provided someone recognizes the bird, so fingers crossed for you.        I suspect the lattice pattern is quite deliberate, although the pontil scar not so easy to make out.         Regret I've no idea as to origin  -  but with a uranium content might be Italian or eastern Europe perhaps .

Don't think there's any uranium there

[kitty-kat1234]

It does glow,truely,comes up like some other pieces i have that do have uranium in  
My black light is very basic though,oneday i will have to do something about that.

In the end i have to listen to the powers to be,i am at the start of a very long glass journey.

cheers kat

[Lustrousstone]

Maybe then 

[kitty-kat1234]

Or could i be getting confused that under light the green comes up a lighter brighter green,sim to uranium
Where as IRL the green is darker
