Hi! I need some help to identify this uranium glass crystal decanter. Nothing at Google. Thank you in advance.

Hello again! :)

I don't think this bottle is Uranium glass. Manganese will glow in this manner - and is used as a colour "purifier".
Uranium always gives a much, much brighter glow.

Thank you. Does that (manganese) help identify the bottle origin?

I'm afraid not.  :'(

It was used widely.
