Hello, I love this piece, but I am not certain of a few things.
I believe this is an Anchor Hocking, uranium glass, oil lamp.
Am I right?
Thanks for any info / confirmation.
Anchor Hocking Uranium Glass? | ||

It doesn't appear to be glowing, which would suggest it's not uranium-based. Are you sure you have the correct type of UV light?
I’m using a little hand held black light.
Uranium only gloves green when hit by a black light. Uranium glowing glass can come in any color glass. Hope this is helpful.
Are you sure that the collar is original to this lamp? It looks like the screw-on previous collar has been removed and this much older collar has been affixed on the rim. The lamp looks like a newer S.E. Asian vase Lamp. Please show the underbase....it should have some writing. RER
I swapped out some of the photos. I'm not sure about the collar, but it does seem to be original. I added another photo of the anchor. That looks like an anchor hocking trademark to me. No writing on the bottom.
Thanks for all the responses.
There are a number of different makers marks for Anchor Hocking - see below. Your green doesn't have the look of uranium glass - see second link.

The collar has been replaced and the rim of the glass under the collar is flat and even. I really do not think that this is an old lamp.....certainly not uranium glass..
