TimelessGlass:
Hi,

Bought this today, and was struck by the colour. I have never been drawn to Vaseline Glass, and do not know if this glows in the dark or not yet. It's a lovely shape, with a pleasing pattern, and a Rough broken pontil.

Any ideas or assistance, as always, greatly appreciated.
Thanking you.

chopin-liszt:
 :) I very much doubt this will glow under uv, it's just swirly yellow glass, but a very nice shade of yellow.
I think you have a snapped off or broken pontil scar there, what we call a rough pontil mark or scar is one that has been ground out, roughly, but not smoothed and polished further after that.
The piece reminds me of a mystery greyish blue swirly bottle I have, but am still absolutely clueless about. The two pieces are similarly thick and the rims are pretty much the same.

TimelessGlass:
Thankyou, all adds to the mystery. I rather like it, and I think it's a keeper.
I love the fact every piece has a story. My pontil knowledge is a bit rusty, so thankyou for the clarification too.

Lustrousstone:
Definitely no uranium there (and uranium doesn't glow in the dark, as it's not phosphorescent. It does glow under UV light though). Your vase looks like a studio piece to me

TimelessGlass:
Thankyou Lustrousstone
I have no knowledge of uranium, so thankyou for the heads up. It's a sweet vase, perfect for an Italian al fresco table.
