Glass / Re: Iridescent small blue vase

Yup odd one , it’s well made and a nice weight, the wear looks kosher so I would love it to be a Qing piece but the base seems wrong from the ones I’ve come across .They we’re making iridescent glass in Poland around 1860 and I think in Hungary ?,but I haven’t seen examples .

Not Myra with that technique and that pontil. Pontil rather suggests Chinese or Polish.  Curious piece, crackle suggests Leerdam, iridescence suggests Kralik or Doyen. Could be anything.

I see what you mean m,thanks .I’ll look harder in that direction , for some reason they didn’t come to mind .The wear is extreme, like you would see on 1870 type pieces and it’s fairly shiney in some light.I should add there’s some tooling marks and the rim is bumpy .

Thanks Greg.  I may send them an email. Apologies for the diversion on your thread.

In the meantime I'd forgotten about Andy's information on this thread where he believes his version might be from Arte Nuova Murano:
https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,41541.msg265637.html#msg265637

Looking that up and re-reading in reference to my vase, 20th Century Glass has this information on it:
https://www.20thcenturyglass.com/glass_encyclopedia/murano_glass/artenuova_glass/
It states the designers involved may include:
Itamo Pustetto, Licio Zanetti, Mario Fuga, Aldo Fuga, Nino D'Este, and Alessandro Lenarda.
So no Ferro and Lazzarini. 

To be honest I can't see anything on net searches that links mine to Arte Nuova Murano.
Therefore I think it is definitely worth and email and thank you so much.

MARTELÉ.
In the times of <Art Nouveau> this type of glass became fashionable.
Gallé, Daum…in France. Consolidated,Phoenix… in the U.S.A.
In Bohemia: Loetz, Rindskopf, ,Kralik
The last one gave greater emphasis to this unique texture. Its iridescent and pearly pieces, with fruity applications, are very beautiful and appreciated.

It reminds me of WMF Myra.  I can take a look at the book later and see if the shape is there.
I'm not entirely certain but I think it could be. My uncertainty is the colour and the thickness of the glass but having never seen one for real, I suppose I can't really tell.
I will look through the book later.

USA / Re: Jeannette Floral Vase Uranium
« Last post by chopin-liszt on Yesterday at 04:20:12 PM »
Mine do not glow at all well. No luminosity just a dull green. They really are completely different to other uranium glass bits I have, which do have a yellow tint to the glow.

I was really wondering if it is known if this ever was made in non-U green glass.
Not a general; "I assume it was very likely.", but the short period you describe does rather help to support that position Nev. Thanks.

Mine were not a charity shop find, but a gift from an elderly friend whose parents had lived in the states for a few years, had bought it new there and then and brought it back with them.
