Up for sale I'm pleased to offer this absolutely gorgeous hand blown glass sweetmeat dish or finger bowl with applied uranium rigaree produced in the Stourbridge region circa 1880-1895 The bowl features a vibrant, translucent body with clear glass bottom graduating to a vivid cranberry - peach top with a distinct scalloped, floral-shaped edge and yellow green uranium glass applied "skirt" around the middle. This fine and Delicately dish has a large polished pontil mark on the underside. Thanks to uranium being added to the glass mass during production it glows beautifully into a bright green under UV light. While this is a unsigned piece high-quality pieces of this style were frequently produced by notable English glassmakers in the Stourbridge region, such as Stevens and Williams or Thomas Webb. The condition is very good with no signs of any damage, minor superficial scratches due to use over the years. A really nice beautifull bowl that it's not only hard to come across now a day's it's also a great collectable piece that would seat proudly on any glass collection.

ABOUT MY DESCRIPTIONS:
I never want anyone to be disappointed with their purchase, so I go out of my way to describe the items I sell accurately and fairly.
As certain things are subjective, I tend to prefer a "say what we see" approach to the description and, if I'm unsure of anything, I will make that clear.
I always try to point out faults but, not being experts on everything, I may miss something - this is why I take a lot of photos so that you, the buyer, can make an informed decision about your intended purchase.
If you spot an error on my listings, please do let me know, Information helps me get better and I never take offence by someone more knowledgeable getting in touch.
If I state an item to be from an era (ie "Victorian"), this will be a researched decision and I will be certain that I'm correct.
If I'm entirely certain then I would use quantifiers such as "Victorian-like".
If I state a specific year (ie "1851"), that will be a certain decision. If I state a timespan (ie "1850-1860") that would be a researched estimate.
Likewise with materials used (ie "Silver Plate" if stamped vs "Like Silver Plate or White Metal" if not stamped).
