Andy:
Me again, just about to get the hoover out, and then spotted this on the shelf that i havent
popped on here yet!
Its 10inches tall, yellow with light green'wings' its got a nice engraving of a Kingfisher on the
front, with artists initials, i think JH
I havent tried it under black light, must get one.
my instinct tells me Bohemian, anyone know better?

Reminds me of some Caithness glass.....but not being a Caithness expert, Id wait for someone more knowledgeable to come along. Emmi

Andy:
Thanks Emmi,
thats one i hadnt considered, I dont think its Caithness, but again , im no expert either,
maybe someone could just confirm yes or no on Jolly Scotland?

Andy:
Bumping this one up, tried with UV , possibly a little reaction just on inside of bowl,
but may be my imagination ???
I still think probably Czech, and im sure initials on etching of bird are JH,
Anyone ??? ???
Andy

Lustrousstone:
If it only has a little reaction, it does not contain uranium. Uranium gives a bright green reaction. Sometimes it's 'louder' than other times, but always bright green. With a pencil beam you can actually see the rays of light in the glass, which you can't see with other reactions to UV
