Hello , I would like some help identifying this glass vase
From what I can find out it might be vaseline green glass made in the early 1900's I think they call it a "Jack in the pulpit vase" anyone with any info would be a great help thanks for looking.

Hi and welcome!  :)
I've asked a moderator to remove your other post, the one without the pics in it. All replies should be in the same thread, this one.
Don't worry about it!  :) Thanks for posting the pics directly to the board. It is a jack-in-the-pulpit.
Do you have a UV torch to check for uranium content?
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Thank you for your reply,  and I'm sorry for the post with no pictures I'm just learning. As for the US torch I do not have one is there another way to check the uranium?  Is this a popular glass?

UV - ultra violet.
You could take it to some bright sunshine, to see if the UV in that makes the colour glow a very bright luminous green. A completely different colour to the original glass.

Don't fret about the just learning bit - we were all there once. Frequently, I still am. ::)

Here's a pic of a piece of amber coloured glass which contains uranium, taken in sunshine to show the green uranium glow up, on one side.
