Topic: Unknown uranium glass compote, please help ID!

Given it is pressed glass, moulds must have been made to create it. Moulds are expensive to produce.
When a piece of pressed glass turns up we can't identify and have seen few examples of previously, you start to suspect it might be of Bohemian origins. They had the big factories which were able to make loads of different moulds, as there were not the same restrictions on finances on their side of the Iron Curtain. The arts and culture were more strongly supported.

I agree.  I have had a feeling this was Bohemian or European of some sort.  I have seen similar looking pieces on Bohemian websites but nothing that would help attribute it.  If it was made before wartime, most records are lost.  Its a nice piece, just wish I could put a label on the bottom with an ID.

The number is the machine number. My guess would be American from the style. In my experience, neither Bohemian nor Czech glass is common in yellow uranium.

Yea most was English from what I can remember, but there was some I found.  I wish I could remember the website I was looking at.

There's also an awful lot of American yellow uranium glass (vaseline)

There were, but the consensus from EAPG group I frequent was that they did not think it was American.  But since it has gone around the world and the general consensus was "not likely us", it very well could be American.  I like researching glass, I think I got it from my dad (he helped write a book) and it just interests me to no end.  But it also gnaws on me when one goes unknown. 

I just need to get this picture in front of the right person at the right time.  Until that happens, the saga continues.
