French Delprete Europe soliflore vase in uranium glass, dating to ca. 1920–1940.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a French Delprete opaline soliflore vase made of uranium glass, 22.7 cm high, probably from the first half of the 20th century.

Why uranium glass?

The vase glows bright green under UV/blacklight (clearly visible in your photos).
The yellow-green opaline color is typical of glass to which uranium oxide has been added (safe for decorative use).

Features
slender soliflore form with a lightly flaring neck
Scalloped edge (scalloped rim)
Milky-opaline foot in contrast with the more transparent yellow calyx.

Paper factory sticker with French inscription; Plaisir d’Offrir / Fait main / Delprete Europe
→ points to handmade French export glass
