Topic: Pink (Uranium) glass facet cut box

[rocco]

This pink/rose coloured glass box showed some nice green reflexions in daylight when I spotted it at the fleamarket

The UV light confirmed that it definitely contains Uranium, though I am not sure if the whole glass is Uranium glass. It looks as though the UV light produces green reflections at the inside, but I cannot discern two differently coloured layers.

Diameter is appr. 11 cm.
I would think Bohemian, early 20th century...?

Any help with maker / origin / age very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Michael

A very unusual colour for uranium!
Is it really pink, or more amethyst, as it seems to be in the picture?
I've only seen one bit of browny-amethyst uranium glass, a Richardson pressed glass tumbler Lustrousstone has.

Thank you very much Sue, and sorry for the delayed reply, I was away for holiday
The colour is definitely a (slightly peachy) pink, although it does show some amethyst reflections depending on the light. (In addition to the faint green glow in sunlight).

It's never a good idea to announce that you're not going to be at home on the web. 
Hope you had a lovely time. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.
The colour really is unusual, I would have hoped it might help to narrow a potential source down.
