Again very happy to have bought these six Victorian glasses, probably late Victorian but may be earlier. They have ground pontils and quite a few "seeds", with an etched design of some sort of fruit or possibly fircones, which I can't identify. Perfect except one has a slight chip on the foot.
Looks like Depression Glass to me as it is green and not yellow.
Thanks fortapache, this is a good example of "two nations divided by a common language". In England we generally just call it "uranium glass" no matter what colour it is and only use "vaseline glass" for the opaque type. We also don't use "depression glass" because although a lot of it comes from the 1920's-30's some is Victorian like these glasses.
