Topic: Clear 14.5" Swung Glass Vase, Slightly UV-Active

[Carnivant]

Hello!

I've looked for this online, but while I have found a few swung vases with a similar flowered pedestal base, I have not been able to find someone who gives an actual maker for this type. If anyone here could provide assistance, that would be appreciated. 

Interestingly, as clear as mine is, it is slightly UV-active (glowing green, heaviest on the bottom and on the top tips). My camera cannot capture it, but here is an Etsy listing of a type with the same base which shows a glow:

The green glow is just the manganese decoloriser and it does not add any value to the glass. You can see yours has slightly purpled with exposure to sunlight; that is the manganese undergoing a photochemical reaction

Thank you!

That made me think to start checking EAPG pages (as I know quite a few of them have Manganese). Still haven't found my exact vase, but a similar flower pedestal seems to have been used by the US Glass Co., as pictured here:

Obviously, the one in the above link actually has a pattern, but I am still looking.  :)

The pattern is cutting so if your vase is the same but without cutting, you may have your answer. Have you looked though here https://chataboutdg.com/gallery/

While the one I have could be a non-etched version of the one in the link I provided, the bottom pattern is different. They both have flower pedestal bases of similar shapes, but mine has a star pattern, and the one in the link has no pattern. So... I'm still not sure if that would be the same company.

I will look into the link you provided. Thank you!

You could try posting it on the Collectors Weekly forum which is American based.

I will check that out. Thank you:)
