Vaseline GlassAlso known as uranium glass, vaseline glass glows bright green under ultrav…
Its definately Uranium/Vaseline glass, its got that 'glow' about it - as for what it is it bears a distinct similarity to a Russian Samovar (Used to heat water) but I think it could be a Victorian dispenser for water or other drinks. Its a stunning item and I would value it around 350GBP (Not sure what that is in USD sorry). Hope this helps!
thats some of the best info i've gotten on it yet, and i've got it up on a couple other sites too, haha. thank you very much. any idea on a date it was made?
As a family heirloom it is priceless.
I'm pretty sure this piece is Cambridge.I will try to find a link.
