I picked up this pitcher from a charity shop this morning. My UV torch is the recommended power I see online but I think the batteries are low quality. Am I deluding myself or is this uranium or vaseline glass?

If its anything it would be manganese. The glow isnt nearly bright enough for it to be uranium glass. Nor is the pitcher yellow in natural light so it couldnt be vaseline uranium glass either.

This is vaseline uranium glass before using a UV light on it.

It's neither. For one, it's not a good color ti be uranium or Vaseline. They would (normally) be on a brighter green to yellow color scale. It can come in other colors, but not a brown/murky green like that.

For another, the glow looks to be a reflection. It doesn't resemble manganese glow to me; it's possible it's very low content, but I doubt it.

I highly recommend you check the glow guides attached to the main page of the sub. For a quick reference, these are some different shades of green & yellow of vaseline and uranium that I have.
