    Hello everyone! I'm trying to ID this vase. Stands almost 6 3/4" high, 5 1/8" across the top, and about 4 3/4" across the base. 16 thumbprints per row. Has a bit of a ring to it and glows under black light. Any help in identifying the maker would be much appreciated!

    Hi Don
    I think it is a Georgian pattern and not a thumb print.

    First thoughts were Duncan Miller, Cambridge and Paden City. But so far have been unable to find a match.

    It is not a Georgian as you see in the tumblers etc. I want to say Cambridge, Fenton etc for a probable maker.

    Thanks, cluttered and George. I might try it on the Vintage Glass FB page and see if anyone there recognizes it. The color is part of what's throwing me.
    I could easily see Fenton or Cambridge if it were any other color - but uranium green? Forgot to mention that the seams are partially polished. You can't see them on the base or the unpatterened top of the bowl but they are visible on the stem and the lower part of the bowl. Thanks for looking!

    Most green depression era and earlier glass will have a unanium reaction. I would call in normal for this green.

    Reporting back! You were right, George - this was identified on the vintage glass FB page as Cambridge's Centennial pattern in light green. Further investigation on chataboutdg indicates it's a candy dish bottom.
