[QUOTE="KSW, post: 9496459, member: 8708"]I know so little about glass I really don’t know if hand blown but think it looks old? I’ve just watched a video about pontils ( yes, I know….) but it doesn’t tell me what type of pontil or help me date those circular marks. I don’t use a black light (or any tools) when I’m out scouting for treasure as I like sellers to think I’m completely clueless rather than just a bit clueless! I also find most sellers don’t know about uranium glass, some do recognise the clear green stuff and very few realise it comes in any other colour. As far as recognising it in the wild, the bright green stuff is fairly obvious, but this was a shot in the dark but I took a chance as I’ve seen US people on here talk about jadeite glass. It was very cheap too which helps.[/QUOTE]
