Topic: Uranium green bubbly posy vase / cocktail glass, footed

[rocco]

I have not found anything in my searches so far, so any help with ID highly appreciated!

Small vase / drinking glass, 9 cm high, made of bubbly Uranium glass.
The foot has a nicely finished circular and perfectly centered pontil mark, rest of the base is polished flat.

I thought Biot first, but the base finish seems wrong (and no signature).

Thanks!

I don't know anything about this range from Walsh but have you checked out Walsh Pompeian? And sometimes, there is the very very faintest stamp mark on the edge of the glass base btw.  It's so faint it's often worn away or so hard to see it gets missed.

Thank you m!

I did run across Walsh Pompeian in my searches, but somehow I had the impression that the base finish was different. Obviously a wrong impression
It does look very similar indeed to the vase you linked to!

I think they do sometimes have a polished pontil mark but the pontil mark on yours looks larger  (and the bubbles look slightly different somehow    - they seem to be more vertical than those on the Walsh pieces I looked at)

Looking in the book there is a vase on page 46 in green that appears to have a similar foot to that on yours though.  A quick thick disc-like foot.

Somehow I had overlooked this thread when searching for Pompeian: https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,45403.0.html
Shows a vase in a very similar shape (apart from the small glass blob between foot and body). Quite a bit bigger than mine, though

That one seems to be a confirmed Walsh shape, so the chances of mine being Pompeian as well have increased.

That one also has a very similar pontil mark finish.
