Müller & Co 'Cherubs' Art Deco Uranium Glass Centrepiece Stand

Description

A wonderful art deco frosted green glass stand with figural cherubs design. Matching bowls can be found which sit on top of this base. It could also be used to hold large candles. Made in Germany, by the Schweig, Müller & Co glassworks. Reference: [click here]. Marked on the base "Regd No 756470, Foreign". This British design number can be narrowed down to having been registered in July, 1930. Due to the similarity with other known designs, it is thought to have been most likely registered by UK importer M & J Guggenheim Ltd. Small amounts of uranium in the glass mixture cause it to glow bright green under UV light, a harmless and interesting feature which has become very collectable these days.

Size

Measures approx 6.5 inches tall by 4.25 inches in diameter at widest point.

Condition

No chips or cracks other than a couple of tiny nibbles to the base rim, and a very small, shallow fracture to the top rim, all shown in final pictures. Mentioned for accuracy there are also a couple of manufacturing "straw marks", as you would expect for this type of glassware.
