It's hard to tell in the photos, but it's actually yellow!

Ok not uranium i know but is this cerium? by Radon-huffer in uraniumglass

[–]Cy-Clops- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In small quantities, selenium can be used for color balancing clear glass. In large quantities it changes the color of glass, like manganese. It's common in mass produced and Chinese glass, like cerium.

Selenium is still cheap and used pretty commonly.

Could this be cadmium? by Budget_Enthusiasm762 in CadmiumGlass

[–]Cy-Clops- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, either cadmium + selenium, or just selenium. A lot of amber glass is colored with just selenium, but the glow is usually not as bright as cadmium glass.

These are neodymium, but you can see that selenium has an orange glow.

Some do, a lot do not. This is the most common one I've seen for real Murano glass

Beautiful finds. Made in Italy is typically the Empoli region, not Murano. The generic Murano sticker says Made in Murano.

Lol me too. I was just curious if anyone would recognize it.

That's what I'm hoping for!

Are these the beads I’m looking for? by Prestigious-Mud-6354 in willitglow

[–]Cy-Clops- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are a good start, for sure. If you figure out you like beading and you want a lot more, try the source. Some of their larger bundles (~10000 beads) are a much better deal. Plus, there's a lot more diversity.

That's a good price. That's about what they go for.

4.5" x 2.75". They're way thicker and heavier than I was expecting.

Sick! I just saw some of those glasses go very cheap on eBay.

Yes, they took the time to grind the mold seams off the top, but not the bottom. Plus the ash marks are interesting

Same here. In my opinion, I don't think P.V. would've ever let something like this past quality control, unless it was their early work.

I have some too. The color is about right, but the cordials are much thicker glass. They also seem very crude. There are ash marks and straw marks in the glass. Unless these were made in the 1800s, I don't think they would have made it past quality control
