A gather was made of cranberry and then a larger gather of vaseline glass was made. This tall vase with original brass foot is most likely Thomas Webb, England. The photo link shows flash camera, black light, and natural light. This is a opalescent and decorated vase from Bohemia, circa 1890-1910. The three handles were attached after it was blown. When blown, the cranberry glass only expands a short distance from the blow pipe, which was attached at the top of this piece. This piece is Rubina Verde, which is a small gather of cranberry glass, than a larger gather of vaseline glass over the top. It was most likely made in Bohemia in the latter part of the 19th century. This piece is called a LOVING CUP or TYG (pronounced ‘TEEG’). Brown (SALT DISHES, copyright 1937) called it PETAL & BULLSEYE. Barlow & Kaiser (book #5 of their series on Boston & Sandwich Glass) called it PRESSED BALL AND GROOVE SALT. It is canary flint glass and very heavy for it’s size. It was made by Boston and Sandwich Company. This is a very early master salt or possibly a vase for a NOSEGAY (an old word not used much today). Please notice how the sunlight turns the shade green, even on the outside area of the shade that usually appears red. The left photo shows the lamp with a 7w ‘flicker’ bulb, the center photo shows sunlight shining on the shade, and the right photo shows the lamp with a blacklight fluorescent bulb inside the lamp. 1706 (5″ fitter) by Hobbs, Brockunier & Co. This photo grouping shows three different photos of a Rubina Verde Lampshade, shape No. The majority of the paint still remains on this piece. It has been cold paint decorated in a style that was prevalent during the time period of 1850-1860. It is a decorated expresso cup with matching underplate or saucer. This is also a cut piece, but from Bohemia. This bowl is large at a diameter of 6 1/4″ across the top and 5 3/4″ tall. This bowl is also much paler in shade than most English cut glass of that era. This era of cutting was called the REGENCY period, due to the basic style that was utilized before mechanization of the glass cutting industry. This first piece is a cut glass bowl from England, about 1850-1860. Any other usage is prohibited.ĪLL PHOTOS ARE LINKS TO AN ENLARGED PHOTO, WHICH INCLUDES THE UV PHOTO Copying of the photos for non-commercial use and reference is allowed. All photos are from the personal collection of David and Vickie Peterson. The photos represent a wide range of time, styles, and types of manufacture. There is also a couple of examples of cut glass, both English and Bohemian on this page. This allows the clear vaseline glass from underneath the gather to show through. The glass is then blown, and the internal glass spreads, but the spot pattern where it was cooled, stays close to the same size. This small gather is cooled a little, then re-heated in the glory hole, turning the glass opaque. Other pieces have an opalescent spot pattern, which is accomplished by taking a small gather and pressing it into a mold that puts a pattern on the glass. The end effect is blue, red or pink glass, fading down to vaseline glass at the base. This is accomplished by taking a gather of blue, red or pink glass and then taking a gather of vaseline glass over the top of that smaller gather. However, there are pieces shown here that have more than one layer of glass, one of which is a different color. The glass on this page has vaseline glass as it’s base glass. This page will show you various types of vaseline glass under a UV black light.
