This is an unusual 8" art nouveau style vase. It has elements that could be associated with several Bohemian makers but I can't find one the same, I think the date is around 1900-1920. I'm sure it is uranium glass as it glows under UV light but I think it also contains a dark green colourant which masks it.

I am not sure if it is uranium glass, you must look if the glow seems to go out from the top.... from the last picture the bright green look from an inner layer perhaps...
this type of Eiffel vases (in Argentina tipo suspiro) with columns generally are attributed to Marie Kirchner, although I am not sure if this one is of that procedence

very pretty vase....
Thanks kivatinitz, I do think it has some uranium content, it was sometimes used as a colour enhancer, the main dark green colourant makes it go opaque under UV light. It appears to be just one colour glass. I did consider Marie Kirschner but that may have been wishful thinking, though it is possible it's by Loetz or Kralik.
The Kirschner attribution is not accurate. It is believed that several firms made this style of production, although most of the production houses can not be identified for the vast majority of these pieces.
Thanks welzebub, the conclusion I came to is that it's too plain and not "artistic" enough to be Kirschner. I can't find one like it but I did find a similarly shaped painted vase attributed to Beyermann. It appears they bought in their glass from other factories so it could have been made by any one of many around Novy Bor.
