Title: Uranium Glass (Identification Help)
Post by: maddiew1122 on May 24, 2022, 11:42:16 PM

Hello! I came into possession of this amber-colored candy dish. It glows with a black light as well. I posted it on a uranium glass group on Facebook and someone said it could be from late 1800s England. I was hoping I can find more information on this piece.

I think it could actually be American, if you haven't already done so you could try the EAPGS website here:

Hi and welcome. I was assuming it is cut rather than pressed? It has some similarities with this one that is from Silesia (apparently a region in Poland, Germany and Czech Republic) from around 1840.
