    Hi everyone,
    What looks like a pretty standard spatter glass bowl turns out to light up under UV.
    It appears to be the white spots which glow, a colour I've not come across before that has Uranium, in fact it's colours don't really hint at it at all.
    It's 10cm high and 10cm at its widest.

      Love your last photo and the bowl too!It's so exciting when a simmingly simple item displays its hidden quality.

      Looks like Murano Art Glass Vase, Made in Italy by Maestri Vetrai Azzurra. ..is just my guess...
    4. IronLace IronLace, 5 years ago
      Yes, I had some nice surprises when I got my first UV light, as quite a few white vases in my collection glowed green. I also found that certain opaque white glass buttons & beads (mostly Czech 1920s - 30s era) glow as well.
      To me this vase looks more Czech than Murano...

      Hi Craig, me too :) and this was totally unexpected. I didn't even consider checking it. I found out by accident while using the light for something else and this lit up in the background.

      Hi Ivonne, thank you. I thought it was nice but just another bowl and almost didn't get it, but very glad I did now :)
    7. Vintagefran Vintagefran, 5 years ago
      Hi Findings, I hadn't considered it could be Italian. The wear to the base suggest it has some age.
    8. Vintagefran Vintagefran, 5 years ago
      Hi IronLace, Thank you. This is the first white uranium glass I've come across. I would've guessed Czech too. The cut rim I thought was a guide to it being Czech. To my eye it has that look, very similar to Welz and other Czech glass I have.
    9. welzebub welzebub, 5 years ago
      I would certainly agree that it looks like Czech production. Great piece!!

      Hi MALKEY, Great to hear from you! I hope you're keeping well. Thank you. What I thought was a nice but fairly mundane buy turned out to be magical.
