I've been trying to find out where I got the idea that Willow Blue contained uranium.  I know one of the members in the other forum (I noticed you're registered there, Christine) said that he had a Willow Blue piece that glowed really brightly, but then he showed a photo of one in UV and it didn't seem very bright at all.  Maybe it was my imagination that I saw uranium in a Willow Blue formula.  Actually, he's a member here; maybe I'll email him and get him to poke his nose in, he knows a lot about Cambridge.

While looking in the Weitzman book on crackle glass (for something else) I came across a piece with this exact same shaped bowl, and four tadpole feet instead of three - different enameling, but shown as a piece by F.E. Rousseau. As much of Rousseau is unsigned, this seems like a good lead to me... anyone familiar with Rousseau?
