r/uraniumglass

Czechoslovakia to be exact! I love the optics from the panels on the lid.

This was NOT a color of ceramic glaze I would expect to have uranium in. But here we are. It was only 3 dollars at an antique store! Not a super spicy piece, but the fact it's blue is so cool

I took a handful of items into the closet with my uv light to see if anything was amber and the beads in this necklace lit up like crazy. I didn’t think anything about it but I had another piece I wasn’t sure about so I asked Google ai. I was right about the piece I asked it about but it very confidently said oh but those bright green beads are uranium glass! I just don’t know. What do yall think? It’s not what I expected uranium glass to look like but my frame of reference is very limited lol. Just thought I’d see what the experts here have to say!

I know, it's probably manganese. Just thought I would share this here because it's the only Coke bottle I've ever seen that reacts to 395nm at all, and the 395nm glow is actually brighter than the 365nm in real life. I've shined hundreds! It even has a ghostly glow in my cheap 395 LED strip setup.

Here’s a mosaic I made for an art festival where I live. It’s 8.5ft tall and about 5ft wide. It has antique uranium, cadmium, and selenium glass in it. A couple of hamilton beach bowls and a Fenton custard dish were reborn into this piece. It took about 6 months to complete.

I’m still organizing my beads but not pictured are my pink ug beads. 😆 Yeah I def have a problem.

Ahhhh!!! I finally found some blue UG! And it didn't cost an arm and a leg!

I found this Cambridge #63 for $30. I knew that swirl meant it would light up. Not sure if the seller knew it was uranium. They had some things marked and priced up, but I also got a small UG Hazel Atlas fridgie for $10. 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, I'm going to do a large photo dump haul post soon to share all the cool things I've come across.

Also...this is thier turquoise, near as I can tell. Meaning I found a super rare color from 1903. 🥳

Was on a road trip with the family. Went into a giant crowded 3 floor antique store. There was a lot of uranium glass there but it was labeled and uncharged, but I didn’t give up hope for a deal. On the third floor this large shade was sitting daintily on a pile of blankets and wasn’t labeled uranium. I knew right away. Hit it with my light for a second and it came with me! It just arrived home safely despite riding around with 3 young kids. A road trip win!

This is my newest and favorite addition to my collection, Moon and Star Decanter set. Picked up the whole set for 250 👀

ANY INFO WOULD BE APPRECIATED..

I’m hoping someone here can help me out. I found this piece but I’m not entirely sure what I’m looking at. I haven’t yet seen a selenium piece in the wild yet and I’m thinking that’s what this is. I didn’t think they’d be green glass tho. Really caught me by surprise in the display case.

First pic is no UV, second pic is 395, and third pic is 365.

Thank you!

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.

I’m always on the lookout for that occasional rare piece that someone doesn’t even know they have but, I do love my little collection. It makes a great nightlight.

I was perusing with my blacklight and found some more beauties. I'm curious about the opaque vase though, so if anyone could chime in there I'd appreciate it. 😅

Almost didn't shine my light on this one and gasped when it glowed! Perfect condition! $5.

I'm thinking hand painted Bohemian? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, sorry for the misspelling 😆. Can't edit my title.
