Topic: Please help ID and Date Uranium Glass Bottle

[cre8tive101]

Hello once again, Thank you everyone for helping with my last few inquires. This time have a blown Art Glass Bottle. The Bottle is an Opaque Yellow color. It has a very strong glow when held near a blacklight. So there must be Uranium in the glass? On the bottom, a lilypad design has been applied to the bottle. There is a pontil mark and it's rough. The bottle is 8-1/2" tall.

I did do some research and found the Clevenger Brothers or South Jersy Glass made some glass that is similar. I didn't see anything made with Uranium Oxid, it was mostly transparent in colors, and blown. I'm not sure if they did do this or if it's a later piece. Any help would be nice. Thank You!

Can't say I know who made your bottle. Probably dates from 1970s to recent. Several names come to mind that worked a lot with this design element. Bruce Cobb and Richard Harkness Both working out of New Hampshire and Joe Hamon in Colorado.
Joe retired in 2000 after many years in glassmaking starting at the age of 7. He did a lot of contract work for the Smithsonian,
Metropolitan museum of Art [MMA] and others.

All of the pieces I have seen of these three are in transparent colors. I would look for a signature on the outer part of the bottom. May be difficult to see given the opalescent coloring of the bottle. The signature on the Bruce Cobb tumbler I own is very small it appears on one of the semi-polished small flats on the bottom edge.

Thank you I'll look closer for a signature.
