Uranium glass crackle effect vase thoughts please.

A well made piece of glass that has a surface similar to Webb bronze, it not broken crackle glass and has a rough surface, any thought's welcome.


5 3/4 inches in height, 4 1/2 inches across the rim and 3 3/4 inches across the base.

Regards Chris.

Is this overshot or crackle - or am I barking up the wrong tree :)

It's got a lead crystal ring, i thought it might be English?, the base is heavily worn and  the interior about 2 1/2 inches up there is a wear ring to various points as if a flower holder has been inside.

Is the colour true?  it is bright greeny yellow?  It's delicious :)

Did Loetz do this colour in their Mimosa range?

Are they iridescent Keith, the outer rim edge has very sharp edges melting towards the base and smooth, this one is not iridescent.I would  like to know how you would make something like this, the inner surface is uneven but smooth.
