Uranium pedestal vase, Bohemian, British or other?
« on: November 01, 2019, 05:34:04 PM »


  Hi,
  Any info re this vase very welcome.

It’s about 24cm ( 9.5”) high.
Has a fair amount of base wear.
It’s got a push-up base/pontil mark.
The rim has been cut and fire polished.
Only the pedestal part appears to be uranium.

  Many thanks for looking  :)

I'd go with Bohemian just because of the rim finish  ;D

  Hi Keith,
Done a bit of digging—because of its uranium content i reckon it was probably made sometime between the 1880s and 1930s.
Waiting to be shot down in flames........... ;D

  Thanks for your reply, 1900 sounds good to me  ;D
  Looked at a lot of Bohemian glass and I can see now why you used its rim as an identifying feature........
