Vintage Cut Crystal Wine Glasses Twin Pair. 1930- 50's

UV / Composition Characteristics:

These glasses are a phenomenal example of deliberate two-piece mixed-glass construction from the mid-20th century:

• The Stems: Contain uranium dioxide, giving off a brilliant, fiery neon green glow under both 365nm and 395nm UV blacklights.

• The Bowls: Crafted from high-clarity clear crystal using manganese as a clearing agent. They exhibit a distinct green glow under 365nm, but remain beautifully dark under 395nm—creating a highly sought-after two-tone aesthetic under a blacklight display!
