Hello,
I am a ameteur bottle digger/collector. This piece what supposed to have been found locally by a man from the area known for bottle collecting/treasure hunting etc... It has a rough pontil scar on bottom. From what i can gather on net its called a jack in the pulpit vase. It glows under a blacklight, the only piece I have that does.. I am new to this but my thoughts are that it is old and that it does have something in it besides just regular materials. From researching it looks to be a opalescent cornflower blue jack in the pulpit victorian era vase. Like I said just started doing this and I may be wayyyy off. Any insight would help.

I suspect that is Vaseline glass, but will ask my wife to have
a look at this also, as she is a collector.

I think it is. Also called uranium glass. Always wanted to have a piece for my collection.
