Ignore that this is taken in the bathroom.
The vase glows a dim green its so cool!! The two other little finds seem to be cadmium glaze but im so curious what kind of uranium glass the flower vase is if anyone knows?
Light used for pics is a 365 dark beam torch.
Just showing off some of the glass my grandmother collected over the years. She has a lot tucked away, too.
I love anything that glows but cadmium has a special place in my heart ♥️ 🧡
Pair of Striped Transparent Slag marbles, likely made in Germany in the 1950s-60s
Pic 5 taken with 395 (glow was near-impossible to capture but strong irl), and pic 6 is daylight
Probably my strongest cadmium glow so far!
Found these little green/blue glass drops in a lil bag on the shelf, thought they looked cool and decided to flash them with the 395, and BOOM! Insanely bright yellow! Very neat little surprise!
I shine just about every piece of glass I come across cause you just never know!
All pieces found in the wild (not antique stores)!
Picked up this awesome Cadmium/Selenium Akro Agate mini planter. I already have a set of green Uranium glass ones, so this was a super cool find.
This guy was at the antique store last time I was there and i loved it. It was there when I went back today so I had to get it! Anyone have any info on it??
This is a beast, the biggest vase I've seen in a while. 20". Found at an estate sale today for $5.
I picked these up for 2.00 a piece at a co-op. I was so excited to see the glow. I think i got a good deal. No chips or cracks.
I just purchased this piece on eBay. I’m pretty sure it is cadmium and I LOVE it!!
Picked up a set of 7 for $20 bucks! Marked Fostoria, appears to be Biscayne Gold. I love the ghostly orange glow, it's so different from my amberina pieces!
Got them for a dollar a piece. I’d been looking for some to go with my matching bird, since my uranium has marbles. I’m so stoked to own these.
It's so bright even without the light! By Summit Art Glass.
So I have long been on the hunt for cadmium lamps. I got my cadmium floor lamp last year, and greatly blessed to get 4 cadmium smoking stands last month. I really wanted at least one cadmium table lamp to round out my collect. Battling it out on online auctions or trying to beat folks to the items at estates has been fun and frustrating. I got to meet a lot of new people and got some great pieces. Last week, I won a pair of cadmium table lamps. This same pair I saw a duplicate of a week prior in an antique store for $575 (I almost cried). I got my pair for $65. So happy with them and they are the same style (shape wise) as my floor lamp and smoking stands. Pictures 2 to 5 are 395nm and everything else is filtered 365nm. Cadmium claw finials bonus.
First post. I picked this up for 50AUD recently from a nice little second hand store. Marked as cadmium glass so I thought I'd take the plunge but I'm thinking it may not be?
