I've been watching this piece for a couple years now and finally decided to bite on it. I thought it was a different technique than it is.. a little disappointed in that.. but it still is a neat quality piece. I guess I'll put oranges or onions in it or something.
Not sure who made it. Thinking date on it is 1925-1945 somewhere. I usually go for glass that is 1840-1910 or so so this is kind of out of my knowledge base.

huh, I"ll have to check again once it gets dark but maybe I won't be using it. using it implies there is a possibility it could endure cat breakage.. but under first glance with a blacklight it looks like it's hot. sometimes teal glass has uranium.. I think this one does.
I really don't want my cats smashing up uranium glass. sure the risks are low but why push the envelope?
a little darker now. it's definitely hot. I wasn't really expecting that. :)
Completely unrelated, but it's good to see that your cat is as interested in your finds as we all are. :)
i have seen one or two pieces with this kind of enameling, i know one was signed Czechoslovakia- i try to locate the signature...
