<p>[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 476664, member: 3974"]Don't know if this was some kind of lamp/lighting globe - simply a vase/bowl of some sort - or something else. It's about 8" in diameter - it's pretty thick/heavy glass. Dark yellow/amber/honey color - until I point a bright flashlight at it - then it has a green glow to it (normal LED flashlight) - under UV light it glows a bright yellow/orangey/red. The opening has a lip/collar turned inward a few inches. The ridges on the outside seem to have been hand formed/scraped - if that makes sense. Any ideas what it is/was? Seems like it has some age to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last 4 pics show the green from the normal flashlight, and the glow under UV. And of course, thanks again!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]160814[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]160815[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]160816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]160817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]160818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]160819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]160820[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]160821[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]160823[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]160822[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
