Believe early Baccarat. Glows under blacklight. Could use input for identifying this piece. It was found by my wife during a vaseline glass hunt , and truly lights up beautiful with uv light. As a new collector was nice to find something like this.
May we have a photo of the bottom please?
Added a photo of the bottom
Thanks! I can't recognize pontils as well as "Cherryhill" from a 2016 post in an Antique/Pontil forum post. Our very own TallCakes liked the post. So......Cherryhill must be right!

Anyway, Baccarat is crystal isn't it? Some is signed but not all. I hope TallCakes stops by to look at your glass.
I tend to ramble!
Baccarat did some work in their early years around 1843 using chrysoprase. This is what gave it the green apple look. I wish they had stamped all their work from the begining. Obviously stickers were not enough.

I will have to ask them for a picture of the bottom
Either way. I got my moneys worth at 25 dollars.
Thankyou for looking those up for me Gillian. I have not had the goldwork on it tested yet, as i am afraid of doing more damage to it. Would like to set some kind of timeline first.
Changed out a picture for a glowing one.
