Topic: Another Monart - unusual OE Uranium

[orangeglass]

Hi,
This is a shape OE  size VI - 9" high with an unusual colour technique, the glass is very thick and contains uranium - will post some more pictures later with it glowing!

Cased Cloisonné very nice, it took a lot of work to achieve that.

it's utterly fabulous

- apart from the shape which is appalling. (IMNSHO!)
A bucket. A boring, plant pot minus interesting rim, shaped bucket.

I agree with Sue, great colours and decoration, but not a favourite shape of mine.
Roberta could you post a picture of your two uranium pieces in the thread about Monart uranium glass. It would be good to keep a permanent record of Monart uranium all in one thread.

The colours and decoration are wonderful, absolutely wonderful.   
Roberta, your images have brightened up my day!

Hi all - here's some pictures under UV - I've only got a little torch so not the best but it gives you a reasonable idea - it looks much better in reality!
Gary - I will also post some in the other thread - is that the one with my FA vase or is there another one?

It my be a "boring" bucket shape but it was probably a very difficult technique (that's why there are so few of them!) so to do it in different shapes was probably a nightmare!
 Saying that one of my favourite shapes is the FA.

Note the inside view shows mainly all green so I guess the base glass is uranium glass, with coloured enamels applied on the outside then cased in non-uranium clear glass

Shape would make no difference as that is done after the final casing.

Thanks for that Frank! 

Any guesses on date - pre war?

Cased Cloisonné very nice, it took a lot of work to achieve that.

The decoration style is more like what is describe as veined in the YSART GLASS book on pages 42 & 43 style 7 & 8.
The first link shows a cased cloisonne. The second link shows a veined example. Both are from the Ian Turner collection

How come you came to the view it is post war. Another picture of the base and how it is finished would help, if you could Roberta.
