Glass / Re: Is this a Steuben Decanter?

Andy McConnell calls that type of neck ‘snake-ring’.

Glass / Re: Is this a Steuben Decanter?
« Last post by cagney on January 03, 2025, 04:38:16 PM » Manganese in clear lead glass generally used as a de colorizer. According to the book THE COMPLETE CUT & ENGRAVED GLASS OF CORNING Steubens clear lead formula post reorganization c. 1933 and beyond did not need a de colorizer. Paul V. Gardners book THE GLASS OF FREDERICK CARTER devotes 98 pages to design shapes pre 1932 taken directly from the Carter archives, of this 7 pages are devoted to decanters and your design is unaccounted for. Pictured is a signed and dated Steuben vase lighted with a 366 long wave U.V. lamp.

It's difficult to tell but yours seems to have quite a lot of wear on the base, perhaps indicating it has some age. I assume the strong manganese glow is produced under 365nm. UV light, this might also indicate age. I can't identify the maker but I wonder if it might be European.

Glass / Cello Handmade Glass Paperweight.
« Last post by NevB on January 03, 2025, 03:06:46 PM »There have been a few posts about Cello glass but I don't think with any definite conclusion. There are pieces on Ebay, most of which say it is an Italian maker but with no proof. This paperweight/ringholder? has a polished base a very faint Cello Handmade clear plastic label and interestingly an engraved mark which reads A and an L? This would seem to indicate a European maker.

Glass / Is this a Steuben Decanter?
« Last post by imaztribabe on January 02, 2025, 10:49:51 PM »Picked this up at a local thrift shop. Google Lens brought up Steuben, but not sure if it is. It does glow under UV, and pretty sure it contains manganese, as the stopper and decanter glow yellow. It weighs less than a US pound; approximately 6.5 inches tall, and just under 5.5 inches across the bottom. Looks to have a pontil mark on the bottom. There are no markings on it. Prelim research says that not all Steubens are marked. Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It's about Gold coloured glass and Topaz coloured glass - comes from a publication dated 1816. No mention of uranium of course.

Glass / Large pedestal cup bowl.
« Last post by Anne E.B. on January 01, 2025, 05:11:09 PM »Any thoughts on this well made piece of glass would be welcome. Not mine unfortunately, but spotted when visiting friends recently. Approx. 8 inches at its widest and heavy, with thick rounded rim which is green. Thought to be very old. I just wondered if this might be what I've seen described as a sweetmeat?
Many thanks.
Many thanks.
