Still think it's smokey green

Keith  -  to what extent did S. & W./R. B. produce glass with a uranium content - do you know?        Presumably none of the Murray designs - made in that dull darkish green colourway - were ever uranium.

Is the green slightly olivey? Looking at the glasses in your greyer pic on p. 1, I can see a yellowy colour around the bottom of the bowl of the glasses.
But a bluer shade in the stems.
I am starting to agree with you Keith, smokey green.

I've no idea Paul, I'd ask David Williams-Thomas but his email got hacked so can't contact him.
Sue, olivey yes but no blue tinge  True colour picture....

[Paul S.]

thanks Keith  -  despite Christine's knowledgeable comments, I' still finding it hard to see these as uranium  -  is this very dull charcoal olive a known colour in the spectrum of uranium carrier colours?             I'm not going to argue with the lady who knows sheds loads more than me about glowing glass, just that the pix I'm now seeing are confusing.

Join the club, never seen uranium glass in this colour, not about to argue with Sue or Christine 

[chopin-liszt]

Don't ask me to argue with Christine either!
I'm completely unsure, but currently, until further information comes to light, I'm suspecting the glasses could be U, but not the shaker.

[keith]

That makes sense about the shaker and it's funny 'glow' 

[Lustrousstone]

The shaker is U

[keith]

Thanks Christine, I take it you've seen this type of dull 'glow' before ?
