Up for sale I'm delighted to bring you this exceptionally rare English Victorian or early Art Nouveau "Jack-in-the-Pulpit" art glass vase, produced circa 1900. It features high-quality opalescent vaseline glass with some iridescent hues, patches of darker green and silver flakes on a spatter style. The opalescent blue-white coloring along the flared, stretched rim was achieved through precision reheating techniques during manufacturing. The clear lime-green glass components (specifically the stem and leaf base) contain uranium dioxide as a colorant. This gives the vase its distinctive yellow-green coloration under natural lighting and will cause the glass to glow a vibrant neon green under a standard UV / blacklight. Vases of this specific organic design, paired with the stylized molded multi-leaf flower shaped with floral base, are strongly attributed to premier Stourbridge glassmakers such as Thomas Webb and Sons or B. and J. Richardson. In very good condition with no signs of chips or cracks, other than some minor manufacture defects and minimal cloudiness this vase is a great addition to 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).
