Title: Bohemian? English? Pale Green with pink opalescent ribs, and quite tall. Help!
Post by: obscurities on June 04, 2011, 11:24:01 PM

I saw this vase today and took some pics of it. First of all, it is quite tall at around 15 inches.....  I have seen the decor before but can not place where....  The body is pale green with applied opalescent ribs in pink. there is quite a bit of age wear underfoot, and the rim is ground and polished quite nicely.  I am thinking Bohemian or English, but am certainly open to suggestions....
TIA
Craig

Looks like uranium to me and from the top rim and the colour, I might go for English before Bohemian but...

I used a different UV light at home and the piece is quite UV reactive.....  so yes, it is uranium glass........
Height is 16.5 inches and 6.5 inches at the widest part of the bulb......
