Topic: ID Help Please - Large Faceted Jade Glass or Uranium vase Victorian ? Bohemian

[stubbsywubsy]

Hello,
i have recently acquired this large green glass vase,

it is superb quality, it is facet cut with 12 edges all very crisp and clean.

it is a large piece and i would personally think it is Victorian possibly Edwardian?

it may be uranium glass, but ive seen similar coloured pieces called Jade Glass as they look like Jade.

if anyone could help with an ID or any suggestions at all that would be a great help

thanks in advance
steven

Very nice. Don't know who made it though. Yours is uranium glass but that comes in many colours and shades including jade, though not all jade glass is uranium.

Thank you for your input

 doing a little more research perhaps this is a Moser piece? although compared to similar ones i have seen the base doesn't look the same.

Hello again hoping to put a little life back in to this thread,

im still very keen to know more about this vase
is there a chance it is Peking glass?

no no no.  Check out Baccarat and St.Louis. It looks eminently French...

Thank you IVO.
your spot on it seems to be French, i cannot match this particular design to any factory though. which is a shame as it is a very sturdy and well made piece which im sure is by a top maker, just which one?

thanks again

your vase could be American Sandwich Glass

Hello Simba,
thank you for your suggestion, it does also look like Sandwich glass. i have just send an email to the Sandwich glass museum linking this page and hopefully they could shed some light on this.

Hopefully we will get to the bottom of this!

kind regards steven

I would say it was a completely different shade of green: a lot of companies made uranium jade green glass
