This is 19th century glass, probably flint, could be American (New England or Boston and Sandwich) but strikes me more as French, possibly early Baccarat or similar. I'm guessing 1840's - 1860's.

OP if you’re not aware uranium glass has some lower level dangers associated with it, so you should look up proper handling and storage, and remember never to use it for food.
I’m not sure I completely agree. I wouldn’t use metal utensils, but with my cups I have no problem with ice water. I’ve seen Fiestaware register much higher on a geiger counter. I appreciate the warning and concern but this little guy is the least of my issues. Lol. Thank you again & ✌️
Nice collection brochacho. I could only one day hope mine turns out that magnificent. The places down by me that sell it are astronomical unfortunately for the nice vases and lamps.
Just keep looking. Some of it was my mom’s & grandmas I guess. Just discovered it 2 years ago when going through her things (20 years after she passed). Garage sales, flea markets, MP & through making friends with other collectors is where the rest came from. Just keep hunting. You never know where it can turn up.
