A cranberry uranium vase and a cranberry style green bowl?

--- Quote from: "Tigerchips" ---Sounds silly of me to ask but are the cheap Bohemian copies worth a lot less than the genuine English one's? And how old are the cheap Bohemian copies as mine doesn't look recent?

What's anything 'worth', Tiger? :wink: Personally, I collect both English and Bohemian, so both are 'worth' the same to me. Although I might have to pay a bit more for a Stourbridge 'name'! :lol:
I think the Bohemian ones are equally old. Please don't put it in the dishwasher, the poor old thing! :shock: :wink:

My dishwasher isn't old, it's brand new, I got it a few days ago with my kitchen. :lol:

--- Quote from: "Leni" ---Tiger, now don't you start collecting 'my' style of glass! :twisted: And not at my sort of price, either! :lol:

I may start a collection of those tall opalescent uranium vases but where should I start? It's not like I'm going to find a whole bunch of them is it, especially on a car boot? I think i'll stick to my carnival glass just for now. :D

For some time, I have stayed out of discussions on what causes a UV reaction in glass ... it's all quite complicated ... and far too difficult for me to put into simple words - even if I knew what I was mumbling about. :cry:
But, suddenly, my "pedant hat" dropped of the hat rack and plopped neatly onto my head as I approached the computer this evening ... so I would just like to say, in response to:
--- Quote ---the pinchwork does not glow under UV as it's just clear glass
--- End quote ---
... Clear glass can give a UV reaction, and very often it's green. The fact that the clear pinchwork does not show a UV reaction merely means that it contains nothing in the proportions that would cause a reaction. I have seen some pieces with clear parts for the foot and rim or body decoration which react differently, showing no reaction for one part but green for the other :!:
And no, folks, I won't be drawn into the old debates about "uranium glass". No. Defintely not. No way. Too much for me. No more.
:shock: 8) :D
