Merry Christmas everyone, I've been enjoying a bit of peace and quiet before todays festivities get started by trying to I.D. this lovely little pot. I bought it on ebay back in November thinking it might be connected to a Roscice tableware design I've collected some pieces of but drawn a blank on that and now have doubts. Can't find it on the Trinket Sets site either (unless my early morning eyes missed it).
The bowl dia. is 3.75 inches (9.5cm). Height 5.25 inches (13.25cms). It's a nice clear green and glows well under UV. Any ideas please?

It's not one I've seen before, which is why it's not on the GTS site. :) Let's see if anyone else recognises it...
-
It can be uraniumglass.
Also called vaseline or green depression glass.
VGCI called in the us states. Another possibility is burmese glass. It is still made by fenton and mosser.
I hoped I helped you a bit further.

Hello and welcome to the board. I think we may accept it to be uranium glass as the OP said that "it glows well under UV". It is not Burmese glass which has an entirely different appearance: https://www.realorrepro.com/article/Burmese-art-glass
My feeling is this is probably continental European, or possibly one of the as yet uncatalogued smaller British makers, but until we find a catalogue entry or a labelled example it is just supposition and guesswork.

Just a thought ... maybe a closeup photo of one of the feet could help to identify it?
-
I thought about the feet as well because they're similar to those on the Bagley "State" pieces I have and checked on GTS. I was surprised to find that Libovich also made the same pattern (1880 - 1884).
I compared my mystery to a couple of green Uranium Bagley pieces and as you can see although the Bagley colours are the same the mystery is darker. But how consistant was Bagley colour over the years? Unfortunately I don't have any Libovich green glass to compare it to.
I also compared the glow under UV, again the two from Bagley were the same strength to my eyes but the mystery visibly less glowing. Whether any of that is of any importance I don't know enough to say but might give someone with more knowledge a clue.

Another attempt at loading pictures
-
Your pics need to be bigger please. The board automatically generates the small thumbnails, so your images need to be around 700px along their longest edge and compressed a bit to fit our file size limit. If you need help getting them the right size just ask!

I'm sorry to be such a pain, re-sizing pictures is a constant problem for me. I'm not very good at techie stuff nor a photographer and the numbers and how they relate to each other baffle me completely.
I'm trying to do this in W10 Live Photo Gallery. My original picture is 2048 x 1536 = 603KB
Re-sized to 690 x 518 = 211KB.
The only way I can stay within the 125KB limit is with picture size of 512 x 384 =117KB. Isn't this too small?
If I try 513 x 385 = 134KB. So an extra 1 on the picture size = 17KB?
-
It's much bigger than the last lot you posted, so it should be fine. Try cropping the "rubbish" from round the edges before you start as well
-
Cropping would be another whole new experience for me and would most likely set off more problems, so I'll try that later.
Same pictures again, fingers crossed.
