This is a Vidrio slag glass clock.Vidrio made and sold these Cadillac clocks but the glass was made by Houze.On either side is a Pittsburgh oil lamp.These are satin glass .I believe the pattern is Drape(Have had a bit of trouble finding info on these) The red I believe is called Ruby ,not sure what the green(Uranium of course) is called.

Thanks Purple !!
Thanks scandinavian !!!!
Thanks upstateny !!
Thanks scandinavian for the comment.I saw the green one on Etsy but it was filthy so I couldn't tell what shape it was in.The seller was also new.I've had some bad buys on these sites recently so I just watched it for a couple days.
Then I spotted the red one on Ebay.They were both priced well so I figured it was meant to be and popped on both.They are both in excellant shape and the green one cleaned up easily.
Hey scandinavian,Yeah there's not much more satisfying than taking something old and grimey and restoring it to it's original beauty! And I have a thing for green but this red satin is really intense.It is a toss up for which I like better.Thanks for the compliment scandinavian !!!!!!!
Thanks scandinavian...I have a couple battery UV lights.They will work.Can't wait to see UV pics.Check all your glass.You may be surprised at what will glow.
It is 12:18 PM here.I'm an early riser.Up by 5 every morning even when I don't want to be.Damn internal clock ! Went shopping this morning,did dishes and tweaked the furnace a bit in between internet.
Yes turn the flash off.My camera does best with the fireworks mode on.Use a tripod if you have one otherwise it will be blurry.Kinda hard to photograph but worth it.IMO
Thanks rlwindle !!
