Topic: Small Open Salt Art Glass - Like Tiffany Pastel Favrile - HELP !!

[obscurities]

I bought this today on a gut feeling. Not super expensive, but at the same time, not very large. It measures 1.375 inches tall, and 1.75 inches in diameter.  I could not get a really accurate image of the colors, and it was not for lack of trying. The body of the piece is alternating stripes of white opalescent glass and a very light almost amber colored glass. The stripes are more pronounced than I could get the pics to show. At the base the color is light, and then as you go up the piece, it shifts to pink, and on the underside of the rim is quite pink. When viewed from the top the folded rim appears iridescent gold, which is more intense in the folds of the glass. The bottom of the piece has a very nicely finished pontil which is highly polished.

Although this is quite small, it is obvious that it was executed by a real master, as it is impeccable in terms of quality and details.

I know I do not really see many pieces of glass like this on here, but figured it was worth a shot to see if anyone recognizes the glass or the form.  I have looked through hundreds of images and can not find a match to this, either in form or a salt in this style of glass in a different form.

As Always  TIA for any and all help!

Nice set of salts from stumpf monot, Paris circa 1870s. You should also google ' gorge de pigeon' for good measure.

I have a slightly less opal one but I've never been entirely sure whether it contains uranium or not. I think it does.

Mine is straight-sided (which would appear to be unusual) rather than a rounded, footed form, although it does have a frilly rim.
I'm pretty positive it does have a very thin layer of uranium in it.

I've encountered a few things recently, which appear to have a thinner-than-paper internal casing of U-glass.
