Description :

This stunning vintage cut crystal vase features a beautiful starburst and fan pattern. The heavy glass has a substantial feel, and the intricate cuts catch the light, making it a beautiful display piece. Its most remarkable feature is that it contains uranium, a defining characteristic of uranium glass, also known as "Vaseline glass" or "canary glass". The vase exhibits a vibrant, unmistakable bright green glow under ultraviolet (UV) or black light, which is the definitive way to identify this type of glass.
The practice of adding uranium to glass for color and its fluorescent effect was popular from the late 19th to the mid-20th century. While uranium glass is radioactive, the levels are generally considered very low and safe for handling and display.
This would make an excellent addition to a collection of glowing glass and is sure to be a conversation starter.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or scratches.
Dimensions: 5.5" wide and 9" high.
Note: A UV flashlight is recommended to showcase the full beauty and glow of this piece.




Dimensions : 5.5 in W x 9 in H
