Uranium Glass Duckling

(1/2) > >>

NevB:
This is an 11cm. tall duckling in uranium glass. I can't find one exactly the same but I think it's similar to ones made by Vincenzo Nason. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Lustrousstone:
Green uranium glass from Murano would be very unusual in my experience. It's normally straight uranium yellow

NevB:
Hello Christine, here's a photo of the duckling next to a uranium bud vase, which is definitely green. The duckling is unusual for uranium glass in that it's a minty green colour rather like Walther's emerald green. The blue vase has pale green/yellow uranium glass but I think the fish is plain green glass immersed in green/yellow.

Lustrousstone:
The fish and the bud vase look fine for Murano uranium. The blue will tend to make the yellow look green. I'm not doubting that your duckling is uranium glass, just that he is Murano

KevinH:
Might be a helpful point - and might just be ignorable, but ... the colour of the duck(ling) looks to me like Teal rather than Green.
