    IronLace
    (946 items)

    For my first post of 2025, here is something special to start the year off in style!
    I am thrilled to welcome a third example of Thomas Webb cameo glass to my collection. This one turned up on eBay AU & the bidding was competitive, though I managed to get this for a modest sum at the last second.
    Made from a single layer of pale yellow glass, it has a uranium content & glows bright green under UV light. The seller hadn't mentioned this, but as I have another vase of the same shade, I was pretty sure this one would light up.
    There is cameo decoration in white, of clematis flowers & a butterfly on the reverse.
    It measures 15 cm tall, 3.5 cm across the base, & 1.7 cm across the top.
    In excellent condition for its age.
    Made in England circa 1880s by Thomas Webb & Sons.

      Beautiful vase and I wouldn't have thought to check this colour of glass for uranium, another piece of information to stick in the memory box, thanks Marin.
