Profferred Answer

Hi Willson,

You might peruse through the glass found on this link…..some interesting examples of the same technique with no mica. ( highlight, copy and paste the link if it does not work directly ).

My personal 2 cents worth would land your vase as being from Thomas Webb. Silverina glass came from 19th century English products. Mr Carder had the great insight to realize what a handsome Art Deco motif it could become. You might find a sales notice of this type of glass in the CMofGlass Library.

Regards,

Another Suggestion for Willson

Do you have the piece of glass so you can black light test it for uranium content? I do not think Loetz had uranium in his green pieces like these while another maker did..
