Victorian Uranium Custard Glass Cherry & Leaves Vases

Description

A wonderful pair of Victorian 1890's opaque custard glass vases, with applied amber and red cherry and leaves decoration. Small amounts of uranium in the glass cause it to glow bright green in UV light. Custard glass was made by several Victorian era glass factories, including Stevens & Williams and Boulton & Mills from the Stourbridge area of England, and Czech/Bohemian maker Harrach.

Size

Measure approx 6 inches tall by 3.5 inches in diameter at widest point.

Condition

Some loss to the applied amber trailing next to one of the leaves of one vase, and both have a couple of nibbles to the "feet" on the base (does not affect how the vases stand), all shown in final pictures.
