Title: *Glowing* Uranium Goblet (or Wine Glass)
Post by: antiquerose123 on April 30, 2012, 04:28:09 PM

Hi there.

Found this single glass at a Garage Sale this weekend.  Glows under UV light.  Have no idea of the maker or the age...or the pattern.  Kinda reminds me of the Canadian Glass pattern of Cornflower -- but I know it is NOT.

Any info or thoughts?  Wish at least it would have been a pair.....but alas  :'(

Thanks ....and having problems re-sizing here as using Son laptop, and the Paint program which I have never used before...so bear with me here.... as I have NO clue what to do on his laptop    :-\

oh gosh  -  cardinal sin Rose ;)  -  you've not told us what the base looks like i.e. modern mould finish, snapped pontil, ground/polished pontil  - extent of wear, if any, and whether the foot is perfectly round or slightly irregular.        Also, are there any swirl marks - either in the bowl or foot.     
I think you'll struggle to get an attribution for this one   -   wines in uranium must have been made in their thousands up until the late 1930's, and I think the engraving is of a stylized flower, rather than depicting some particular species of flora.     However, I think it's attractive, and as you say, shame about not having the other five.           Drinking glasses are always interesting, and they consume so little space.    Nice piece.
Assuming absence of any wear, then I'd plump for quite modern, eastern Europe possibly.

U.S. in all probability, however just about every manufacturer large & small  made these in the 30's & its difficult with this generic design every manufacturer  used to distinguish one from another.
