A Fritz Heckert iridescent vase, the radium-green body (shown under UV light at right) with four applied lion's-head prunts. Although the Heckert refinery was better known for hand-enamelled decoration, from about 1889 they did produce some plain glassware of their own. Some pieces featured these lion's-head prunts, possibly inspired by earlier Venetian glassware (the lion is the symbol of St Mark, patron saint of Venice)

An elegant Stourbridge optic-ribbed vaseline-glass vase. From its' shape, it was possibly intended for growing hyacinths bulbs in, although it is rather taller than is normal for this purpose. The photo at centre shows the effect of ultraviolet light
