Hello Everyone,

i have this unusual Murano Bowl which has some Vaseline or uranium glass added in.
there appears to be a circular makers mark to the base.

i have always presumed this is a Murano Sommerso piece? although i know some of this type of glass was in fact Czech in the Italian style.

any help and knowledge would great
kind regards steven

Don't think there's any uranium either

Hello thank you for the replies,
perhaps the vaseline part is just white glass then?

it really does look like uranium glass though
