Uranium Dioxide Glass Dish
« on: December 24, 2012, 07:52:50 pm »
I was out "antiquing" with my family today, and came across a very cute little heart shaped dish (uranium dioxide).  It had a B in the center of a diamond (not a diamond like ring diamond, diamond like a two pyramids base-to-base) stamped on the bottom of the dish.  I have tried to find the name of the company that made the little dish, but am not having any luck.  I KNOW I am supposed to provide pictures, but I left without my cell phone (OMG)!  Anyway, any help in giving me some idea where to look would be greatly appreciated!

To all of you who have been so kind and gracious in the past, a very Merry Christmas to you all!

Scroll down here and see if yours is the Boyds Crystal Art Glass mark !!  Illinois Glass also used a diamond mark with either numbers or letters in it !!   Post a pic of it and the mark when you can !!  This will give you a start !!
Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas too !!  Glad to have you as a member here !!

Merry Christmas, Mart!  It's been too long since we last "chatted"!  I hope life is treating you kindly!

Thanks for the link.  It is definately a Boyd's piece.  With your help, I was able to find a picture of the little trinket box on eBay.

Here is the link.  It is such a cute little thing!

Certainly no "rare find", but as I have learned from all of you here, if it brings joy to your heart, it is money well spent!

Again, thank you for your direction.  Have a happy New Year full of blessings!

Are we talking about Vaseline Glass here?  The glow glass when under black lights?

Totally agree...buy what means alot to you.  AND if t ends up being worth alot more...that makes it even better!

IT IS COLD HERE IN TEXAS. We definitely had a White Christmas!  We had 3" snow and 1/2" sleet!
