Title: Tall uranium vase
Post by: glassobsessed on July 02, 2009, 04:54:27 PM: Another family item that has been rescued from my hoard of sisters, it stands a little over 12 inches or 31 cm tall.

It glows brightly under UV light, I would guess it was English made but can anyone be more specific?

Many thanks, John.

Would be nice to find out the maker finally! Mine came from Austria, so Bohemia is another poss?

Post by: glassobsessed on July 02, 2009, 10:43:14 PM: Interesting, I will see if I can dig up any info from the family on where and when it might have been bought (might need a Ouija board though).

Bit small for a floor vase or does the term not imply size?

Pamela, is yours uranium too?

John.

Post by: Tina on July 03, 2009, 10:35:25 AM: Seeing the top of your vase John, sent me on a search for this one. I think this could also be from the same maker.....sorry that I don't know who....it looks very much the same at the top as yours.

Post by: glassobsessed on July 03, 2009, 12:36:49 PM: Tina, I think your vase looks a bit more modern than this one, not that I know how old either of them are, just a guess.

Pamela, Uranium pink is the colour I go when I have had too much to drink. ;D

John.

Post by: pamela on July 03, 2009, 06:30:11 PM: John, your uranium question isn't for nothing:
Yes, Christine is right, THIS my vase is just pink and white :)

BUT I've got several pink items which glow brilliantly under black light, like for example Brockwitz' 1915 (or earlier) vanity set items:

http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/toilettenservice/01212.html - especially the lidded dish

and also later Brockwitz glass like one of these:

http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/schalen/01076.html - not vividly, but green

further uranium glass:

http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/vasen/02532.html - amber
http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/schalen/00763.html - pink Walther
and another pinky-amber crystal cut that went to Dirk meanwhile because not pressed glass - Hallo Dirk :thup:

and another vase, which remains unphotographed, I must admit :o this latter one is similarly shaped as yours, is pink inside and the outer white glass is very uranium

Post by: pamela on July 03, 2009, 07:23:45 PM: http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/vasen/00168.html

from far, at home, I'd say mine is about 22 cms tall and by no means a floor vase

Why in heaven did I start my pages without giving the measurements of each item ? :hb2:

difficult to do that now, after more than 9000 htmls.. :nogoss:

Post by: Lustrousstone on July 04, 2009, 12:59:59 PM: The ones that don't glow vividly don't contain uranium, it will be maganese
Title: Re: Tall uranium vase
Post by: pamela on July 04, 2009, 04:51:25 PM: Thank you, Christine! And how about those pink glowing vividly? I have to try photos of the older Brockwitz, I guess :rn:
Title: Re: Tall uranium vase
Post by: glassobsessed on July 04, 2009, 06:19:04 PM: I will borrow a UV light from my nephew and take a photo of this one, never tried to photograph anything like that before.

John.

Post by: Lustrousstone on July 04, 2009, 06:41:22 PM: I've never tried shining my light at pink glass, perhaps I need to :o
Title: Re: Tall uranium vase
Post by: glassobsessed on July 07, 2009, 04:49:57 PM: With UV fluorescent tube as 'lightsource'.

Post by: chopin-liszt on July 07, 2009, 05:13:51 PM: This little Stumpf, Touvier and Violette salt glows brightly under UV, but I think it's the cloudy bits that do it. Sorry, Can't check as my UV thingy died.

Post by: glassobsessed on November 04, 2021, 08:57:08 PM: How about:

Bernsdorf a possibility and in about ten sizes, available in hexagonal and square section too if I am reading that right.
Title: Re: Tall uranium vase
Post by: NevB on November 05, 2021, 10:06:33 AM: If it is Bernsdorf the opalescence suggests it is an earlier piece, late Victorian, apparently they started in 1872 so it's possible. From what I've seen of their 1930's glass it's usually just clear or frosted.
Title: Re: Tall uranium vase
Post by: glassobsessed on November 10, 2021, 06:53:52 PM: Would have assumed earlier too, interesting to see the shape though. Have to assume other makers are possible, not the most distinctive design.
Title: Re: Tall uranium vase
Post by: NevB on November 11, 2021, 10:33:27 AM: I noticed these similar vases, top left, the other day in the 1913 Streit catalogue, which could be a possibility.

https://www.glas-musterbuch.de/Streit-1913.105+B6YmFja1BJRD0xMDUmcHJvZHVjdElEPTQ2MzcmZGV0YWlsPQ__.0.html

I tend to forget to check the Streit catalogues when searching, they had a large and varied output.
Title: Re: Tall uranium vase
Post by: glassobsessed on November 26, 2021, 09:11:23 AM: There are going to be more makers as well! Guess that is almost inevitable with a successful design. Streit is entirely unknown to me, looks like a good match again.
