Title: Uranium jade beakers - ID = probably Nason
Post by: Anne on July 05, 2008, 10:07:00 PM

These have me totally foxed as I know zilch about this type of glass - way out of my comfort zone - but the colour is just fabulous!

They are 4¼" (110mm) tall, and 3" (75mm) across their widest point. Fairly lightweight,  one weights 127g and the other 153g. Mouldblown?

No marks anywhere as far as I can tell. They both ring like a bell. The glass has the odd bubble and is sort of cloudy with fine bits in it, hard to describe really. Glow like mad under UV light.

Any help with these would be really appreciated. Thanks! :)

Thanks Christine and Andy, they do look very similar, don't they?  It'd be great to be able to track down a maker. Christine, please do post pics of yours. :)

Ohhhh interesting, thanks Christine.  Your pic shows the colour better than mine. Mine are the same colour but look paler in my pics. Am still getting to grips with Barry's new camera! ::)

Don't suppose mine would be Nason would they?   :'(

Seems to quack and waggle like Nason, so I rate the chance quite high.
