    This was a neat buy it now on eBay AU!
    The vase is made from a single layer of opaque light aqua green glass (milk or opaline) with a uranium content that shows an intense response under UV light. The exact colour was difficult to capture in a photo, it is a light aqua type green that doesn't suggest a uranium content. I have owned one other vase previously in this unusual colour that had the same UV response.
    It measures 17.5 cm tall, 4 cm across the top rim, & 5.8 cm across the base.
    There is attractive enamel decoration of strawberries & leaves which contrasts nicely with the glass colour.
    Bohemian origin, late 19th century.
