Glass / Victorian? Uranium Green Vase
« Last post by Birkyc on Today at 08:16:08 PM »Uranium Green, Mouth Blown, Opaline Spiral, Cranberry Pinched and Folded Down Rim, Snapped off Pontil.
Not my sort of thing normally but acquired this vase a couple of days ago.
Im guessing it is Victorian, anyone have any idea of origin, maker etc.
I would be most grateful for any information.
Thank you.

Glass / Re: Cased Hoop Vase ID or Chinese Copy?
« Last post by niktam on Today at 03:15:40 PM »Hi Ivo,
Yes, a very good point - I did notice that the Scandi cased white interiors are very robust in comparison.
Thank you for your help.
All the best,
Marie.

« Last post by niktam on Today at 02:22:30 PM »Hi Ivo/Sue,
Have just been checking China section - looked at Japan yesterday and can see the examples Sue was thinking of and only find a couple of photos close to this style, Ivo, also checked 20th Glass site which does have several Hooped Vases, but not finding this colour.
I can remember, many years ago, seeing on here a photo of a Chinese copy and the red was a vibrant Blue/Red which made me think this might be a Copy - am not finding the example I remember. Any thoughts on the shades of red - all the Scandi and others seem to use a more yellow-based red and any examples of Japan/Chinese shades, are not showing the colour I remember?
Thank you both for your time,
Marie.

I can contact you via your website to sort out the details. The dish has a chip on the base and a crack on the handle, the vase has chips on the base.

« Last post by MHT on Today at 09:19:35 AM »Hello Nev. Been there many many times, I lived not far away and remember when the area just north of there was all fields, all gone now.
Gold is a really nice, bright, translucent amber. They were making other translucent colours, see pics, some of these may have been combined with white to make the malachite colours, they were also used as the base colour for some of their 'marble' glass.
