This was my grandmothers. Any ideas what the glass is? (The blue piece. The plates are UG)

Thanks

Quite possibly my new favorite pickle caster 😍 An absolutely stunning antique Adams & Co. piece dating back to 1885. I’ve never seen one with a glass lid before. 💚

Today's Rescue

I managed to grab this incredible 1930s eimac 250th Power Tube off of facebook marketplace for a steal of a deal! It's a wonderful intersection of a few of my interests, so I'm extra thrilled to have it.

Found these beauties at a flea market! Any info appreciated!

They are a minty blue colour with a bit of gold paint on them. They also are bigger than they appear in pictures. I'm obsessed! I saw some similar looking ones but they weren't the same colour online. So are these reproductions? Thanks!

Phone photo of UV makes it look more intensely green than they actually glow. The glow is also more minty looking in person.

Found this opalescent blue green beauty at an antique shop! Had to splurge $45 but I couldn't leave it behind... What kinda lamp do you think i should get for it?

Yes, Please. Adams & Co. No. 235 (OMN) Oil Lamp

A new pickup—how could I say no?

is this uranium?

It glows pretty bright, and is way greener in person. is amber colored.
Should i go back for it?

I was asked to film this lovely lady at night; here she is!

I used Imgur because Reddit’s photo service really muted the quality and colour of the glow.!but she’s so perfect.

There is a missing rose in that upward dip on her skirt. If anyone has any ideas of what I could do with that while preserving the period of the piece, I’d love suggestions!

Crystal washboard

Found this bad boy at the antique mall for 15 bucks. I didn't even notice it until my dad pointed it out and asked, "does that look like it would glow?" He was right!

Vacation finds

Vacation was cancelled for a few different reasons so we just stayed at home and traveled to a few new spots we had never been to before. This was the haul. Back to reality now I guess.

Inherited piece

Hi folks, I’m hoping one of you lovely lot can help shed some (uv?) light on this piece I’ve inherited from my grandparents. My grandmother was an antiques dealer here in the uk, and we’re in the process of clearing her house out. I’ve been given a lot of lovely glassware including this piece, which I suspected was uranium glass so I bought a UV lamp and sure enough it glows beautifully.

I’m confident it’s cut, not pressed, and my instinct says it’s 19th century, but that’s where I’m stuck. Do you any of you clever sorts have any thoughts about it?

Today’s finds from a charity shop!

Me and my partner are on a trip down south and we found all of this uranium glass in a charity shop, we paid £45 for it all! The tray and perfume bottle are my favourites 😍

Was about to buy a teacup when the lady at the desk pointed out this

Anyways I’m about to sob
I always find over priced Fenton so I’m so glad to have found one that wasn’t 100 bucks

I bought a huge 30cm tall jade vase online for $50, unfortunately it didn't survive the transit. I'll get my money back, but I'm still beyond sad, so please grieve with me 😭

The last 2 pics are how it looked

Could grandma's stuff be uranium glass?

Recently found these in the cupboards from my grandmother's old glass stuff, I'm new to this so I don't have a Geiger counter and I'm thinking of getting a uv light but ik it could just be green glass or maybe manganese, what do you guys think? EDIT: my grandma from Mexico, lived her whole life there and idk how popular uranium glass was there though she does have other normal stuff like tea sets from various countries so idk how likely it is then
