Description :

A striking five-piece collection of vintage cut glass, each masterfully crafted and dramatically reactive under ultraviolet light. This curated set includes:

  • Handled Basket Dish – Intricately cut with floral and geometric motifs, featuring a gracefully arched handle.

  • Tall Vase or Tumbler – Vertical cuts and starburst detailing catch and refract light beautifully.

  • Round Dish – Central starburst pattern surrounded by deep, symmetrical cuts.

  • Pair of Candle Holders – Matching design with scalloped edges and faceted stems.

Under UV illumination, each piece fluoresces with a vivid bluish-purple glow, suggesting the presence of manganese or uranium content typical of early 20th-century glassmaking. The craftsmanship and condition suggest mid-century American or European origin, ideal for collectors of depression glass, uranium glass, or decorative tableware.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No chips or cracks observed. Minor surface wear consistent with age. UV-reactivity confirmed.

Dimensions (approx.):

  • Basket: 9" H x 8" W

  • Vase: 7" H

  • Dish: 6.5" diameter

  • Candle Holders: 4" H each

Display Notes: Best viewed under UV light to appreciate full reactive brilliance. Suitable for display cabinets, illuminated shelving, or thematic décor.
