Topic: Could this be an antique Fenton Cased Glass bullicante vase c1900

[glassamore]

Hello all you knowledgeable glass lovers.

I have been shopping again and going crazy trying to identify my latest purchases - so I hope some one can point me in the right direction.

Could this vase be a Fenton? Cased milk glass with swag controlled bubbles (Bullicante) with ruffle rim with pinched neck. Approx six inches high 15.3cms.

Must of been a real art to make!

Looking forward to hearing from the experts on maker and terminology and rough date.

Thank you all for your time

With best regards

PS; I have put up another two ID requests - one for a Whitefriars / Murano Bullicante ashtray / pin dish and an extra tall slim cased vase.

Should of said post 1905 as Fenton was not established until 1905 and the old queen died in 1901 so cant be Victorian. Thought I would just clarify.

Thanks Gary - Glass Amore

I have been through the Fenton catalogues and can not find it? Maybe it is not Fenton after all?

A great source with Fenton Catalogues 40's through to the 70's is in the link below

I will carry on searching

It's not bullicante for a start. It's air trap. It could be Victorian Bohemian. I don't think it's English from the pontil mark. It could also be 1970s Italian and in Victorian style. Do you have a UV light to shine on it because that ivory glass looks like uranium glass? If it is, I'm going for Victorian.

Fenton glass rarely has a pontil mark BTW

Thank you for your reply - You always seem to reply first 
I will check with a UV light when it gets darker - also interesting to know that Fenton rarely have a pontil mark, I have taken note of that.
I'm learning sorry I said bullecante and not trapped air.
Thanks again I will report back

Hi Christine
Just been under the stair cupboard with my UV torch and yes it is uranium glass - gives off a nice green glow. So can I say Victorian and start searching Bohemian makers of that period.
Thank you so much - I'm learning by the minute.

You shouldn't need to go in the dark with your UV torch, however small. If you can't see the bright green glow in daylight, the chances are you are not getting a uranium glow and that it's manganese decoloriser. It's only in bright sunlight that the green uranium glow is hard to see. With cased pieces, shining the torch through from the inside can give the best glow
