Sevres Vase

(1/3) > >>

Smitty:
Can anybody help me find out more about this  Sevres vase which I purchased recently. Its stands 39cms in height and weighs  3036grms, The colour is pale amber in daylight and an apple green in artificial light.  Makers name is etched to base. I assume it to be from the sixties .
Thanks

Paul S.:
just possibly this piece is trichroic - as opposed to neodymium for example which is dichroic.            Some trichroic pieces do apparently show up as quite bright green under fluorescent light, and the change in colour in daylight might suggest the presence of selenium.
Have a look at this ...............    GlassyEye.com -  where there's information about both types of glass.                Regret I've no idea as to the date of this piece.

Smitty:
Thanks for your interest and useful steer on the type of glass.

glassobsessed:
Does it have an opening at the top? If not perhaps a lamp base.

rocco:
Seems to be made from so called "Heliolite" glass -- I recently posted a pair of Murano dogs, one in Neodymium (colour change from pink to blue), the other in Heliolite glass (colour change from amber to acid green)
