Welz glass Sam_0813

This is a lovely thing with age-related chips and scratches to the base. It looks like it should be ceramic until you pick it up.
Where would it have originated, do you think?

I've just noticed that it has tiny air bubbles at the intersection of each line of colours. Obviously to do with the manufacturing process
but, what?

Looks like a Welz piece. Bohemian 1910-1920ish. Nice piece.

Welz glass Empty Please help ID my glass item - Welz

Post by Bitsnbobs March 17th 2019, 11:32 am

Hi,
Please can anyone help with this piece of glass?
It’s pink with white stripe. Hand made.
I believe it’s Victorian. I have had a Google & found something similar that was named as Harrach. I don’t know anything about glass I’m afraid!
Thank you very much

Hi,
I have recently acquired these glass pieces. I think they are candle holders.  I believe they are Victorian. The handles are thorn glass , if that’s the correct description! Any info regarding them would be great. Many thanks

Have you tried a UV light on it?

If it's vaseline glass, the white streaks will glow under UV,
which might give a clue.

My first thought would be to check the Welz glass websites. This type of glass is known as spatter or splatter glass i think.

It won't glow under UV light. Vaseline glass is uranium glass, which will glow bright green under UV, but it is usually yellow or green, not this sort of white
