Topic: Victorian (?) striped vessel, burst silver foil, applied vaseline decor

[rocco]

This is quite an unusual piece I think, wasn't able to find anything similar online...

Appr. 10 cm high, 14 cm wide. Quite heavy at 850 g.
Opaque white glass with burst silver foil, the transparent blue stripes are interestingly cased over the silver foil, while the foil is on the surface in the white areas (I hope this description makes sense ;-))

Applied flowers and feet of yellow vaseline glass (can't test atm, but that's what it looks like).
My best guess would be Victorian era, but no idea if British, Bohemian or other.

Thanks for any help!

Very nice,  i would have thought British 1880's, beautifully made.

Thanks a lot guys!

British glass is rarely seen around here, so I know next to nothing about it...

I did find this piece (with burst silver foil) here on the board; seems to be attributed to Webb as well: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,37302.0.html

I was rather sure about the stuck-on bits being Uranium glass, but I tested it today anyway...
