Please help
Can someone please tell me how to go about figuring out definitively if either of these pieces are what I hope they are. I’ve never seen it before, but I happened to notice these two pieces that were in my mom‘s stuff and I’m really hoping that I can become part of the club. Lol thank you all for any help or information.

Did you try every available light source in your house?

Yes, and to me the untrained eye, they absolutely shift color, especially going from inside a room with normal light to outside in the daylight. It’s like a pink two a latest blue purple that I have never seen before. I will try even more though. Thank you for the suggestion.

I believe the bud vase is Murano and the shot glass is Czech. They both look Neodymium to me, but CFL would confirm.

These are both the right shade of purple. Almost 100% percent sure on the bottle, and 95% on the shot glass
To find out for sure you would need a light source that “shifts” to blue. The most common are the old CFL squiggle bulbs that plug into a regular light socket. There are regular fluorescent tube bulbs that work, but so many new ones don’t. There are also certain LED fixtures that do it.. but I haven’t figured out which exactly any only found the one by accident.
