It was labeled Murano (probably not) but I'm at least hoping it glows (probably not). The seller couldn't be bothered to find a blacklight but still I took a bite. Anyone recognize it?

One of my first Orient and Flume blind-buy fails. It's not uranium glass, but what is it? It has a weird, sickly manganese glow in 365nm. I accidentally noticed it changed colors when I walked past my fluorescent bug light. Is this praseodymium glass? The color change is so bright, it almost looks like it's glowing! 😎

Glowy wine. These are my new go-to wine glasses, even though they're water goblets. Which ones do you use the most?

Lead crystal Amberina glass. Hand-blown w/pontil scar and sticker by the oldest glass company in America. One of my all-time favorite Amberina pieces. The other is my Blenko Dart Frog water bottle, which ironically glows like a Jack-o'-lantern 🎃

And the uranium kind. These looked really pink in the seller's photos, but they're much more amber in real life. They still give off some awesome selenium fluorescence in normal lighting, though I wish they were pinker 😅. Still, selenium+uranium has an interesting glow. Happy to add these to the collection of random colored uranium glass.

Odd splendiferous balloon vase? It's so dark and reflective, I could shave with this thing. There is no green, but it certainly looks green. One of my favorite purchases overall and my new darkest uranium glass. It's not black, but it looks very close. I was expecting awesome, but not 3lbs of awesome. It's almost solid cobaline 😂. If anyone has any information, TIA. Otherwise thanks for looking.

Pink-amber wine glasses. What color do we think these will glow?

Blind buy on eBay, about $3.50 each. The seller mentioned that he doesn't think they're uranium and doesn't have a blacklight.

Both labeled vintage Fenton from the 1970s, various sellers using AI to ID and list their items. $35 and $25.

It's very crude and covered in ash marks and tiny bubbles. They left the sharp pontil break. It's more than 1/2" thick in places and very heavy. WAC signed on the bottom. (possibly Workhouse Arts Center?) I'm wondering if this is a student piece, or studio blown, but I'll probably never know! I use it as a centerpiece for this epergne. Still on the lookout for another Empoli votive xD

This antique Venetian/Murano console set has about 3 different manganese glows. The cranberry parts might be a combination of selenium and manganese, and I think the yellow-green frit used to color the connector pieces might actually be uranium. Only the tiny color speckles react to 395nm.

I drove three hours round trip for this "uranium" Murano console set (not uranium) but I bought it anyway. I got the Northwood stretch Topaz underplate that matches my mayo bowl, equipped with a matching ground marie on eBay and oddly enough the seller was relatively local. I also got this cute little J. H. Hobbs, Brockunier and Co. Dewdrop cup for $12. It's actually bigger and heavier than I was expecting, and it looks more amber than Canary.

Possibly early 1900s Murano, I am unsure. If anyone recognizes the artist's style or the age, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

These cups were labeled "green depression" but I don't think they're green or depression. To me, they look like antique vaseline. The Polka Dots are also on the bottom of the cups, and cups are lopsided (mold blown?) The thorn vase I'm guessing is Victorian British glass, John Walsh Walsh or Stevens and Williams. Unusually large for a Victorian thorn vase. All blind buys, will they glow?

1800s amber uranium glass chamber lamp. British made burner, found in Canada. If anyone has any information on the font I would appreciate it. I'm guessing it's either Burlington Glassworks from Canada, or one of the Stourbridge, England furnaces. I married the shade from a different chamber lamp. TIA!

1870s Burlington Glassworks, Canada. One of my darker, spicier pieces. The glass is so shiny, it looks greasy. British made hardware. I bought this from a collector in Canada. It's my first lamp, and oldest piece. I won the opaline shade in another auction and I thought they looked good together.

EAPG Jefferson Beaded Drape rose bowl. In the description the sweet lady said she's going blind and can't tell if it's yellow or green. In the last pics, I included two more I bought labeled as Jefferson/Northwood green. There is some variation to their vaseline!

This was labeled Fenton Ivory ruffled bowl. It was also labeled as manganese glass with an important disclaimer I had to sign stating that I understand this piece doesn't glow in 395nm. I'm still willing to bet $23.50 this is antique uranium Opaline with cadmium edges. What do y'all think?

One of my favorite cobalt pieces to date. Unsigned, though I'm pretty sure I know who made it. Normally, I'm a sucker for uranium not cobalt, but this one got me lol

I bought this beauty labeled as "clear uranium glass." Polka Dots in Canary. The stopper is etched "133" and fits super snug. Beautiful ground and polished pontil.
