Title: Victorian green uranium mould blown glass vase help please
Post by: brucebanner on July 10, 2015, 05:14:15 PM

Any thoughts on this one? never seen this colour before in glass, it's made in a three piece mould very sharp to the the touch and leaning to one side, i'm guessing 1870's no markings.


8 1/2 inches in height, 3 1/4 inches across the base.

regards Chris.

 ;D
I'm sure Lustrousstone will know. I know she has at least a couple of very similar beasts and I've handled them - they are good quality.

Davidson pattern no. 207, Chris. An unregistered design.

Comes in cupped versions, like yours, or flared versions, and in clear glass and a variety of colours.

Often bears the Davidson demi-lion mark underneath the foot, and though to have been introduced sometime between 1880 and 1890.
