Title: Sea-green bowl
Post by: Ivo on June 03, 2013, 12:54:33 PM

This bowl measures 12 cm high x 15.5 cm diameter (= almost 5 by just over 6 for the non-metric). It has a polished pontil mark and its most striking feature is the sea-green colour. The bottom scratch could - conceivably could - hide a signature - but I haven't fount it yet.

I have seen this colour before - but cannot remember if it was Orrefors, or Sea, or even Leerdam. 

Does anyone recognise it - please?

Is it UV-reactive / uranium? In which case I could easiest imagine Leerdam...  ???

Wow - I never even considered Uranium glass - but you're right, it emits a wonderful green light under UV.

The plit thockens. 

Same colour as this one

which defied ID in 2006.

Or perhaps even WMF 30´s, which would be hard to investigate...

Hmmm - interesting. 

I just discovered I have another piece with the same colour which I tentatively filed under "Glasriket".

for what it's worth....

I must admit I wondered about uranium. I picked these up in Utrecht http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=1506
And I also have these

As it turns out the colour is called Emerald and it is from Kristalunie Maastricht.
