EDITED TO ADD:
I should mention that I have a Seagulls vase - same maker - that has an aqua blue base glass that glows under UV light.

I have an intaglio cut cigarette box with a naked lady on a horse in glowing aqua blue, not quite the same but the glowing blue is not so common

Nice one, Christine  :).

John Boyd told me that aqua blue that glows under UV is produced by combining chromium and uranium in the glass batch.
