Title: random bubbled vase ? - with opalescent-uranium foot for id.
Post by: Paul S. on December 10, 2021, 02:18:35 PM

so who might have made this??  -  I've no idea  -  possibly States or Eastern European in origin?            Am assuming a vase - about 8.5 inches tall - bit like a sundae glass, and with opalescent foot which gives striking sunset glow in daylight and uranium reaction under u.v. torch.      Bubbles are mostly random but not unattractive and there is some wear, but difficult to interpret for age.
If anyone has any clues as to maker etc., would be great to hear, and thanks for looking.

Does it have a slightly moulded/thickened rim?, I've been informed previously this is a safety rim used on drinking glasses. It could be a "pilsner glass".

thanks Nev  -  no, is the answer  -  the rim appears to have been fire-polished and I can't detect any thickening.       Yes, I could be tempted to fill with Pilsner ;D
