Description :

This is a beautiful and rare collection of vintage Jeannette Glass "Ultramarine Swirl" depression glass, produced for only two years between 1937 and 1938. The pieces are a stunning blue-green color, with some appearing more green than others. The pattern is also known by collectors as "Petal Swirl" due to the ruffled, petal-like rims on some pieces and the angled handles. The color is often described as teal or ultramarine.
This collection is a fantastic find for any collector, especially for those interested in uranium glass. When exposed to a UV or black light, the glass glows a rich, vibrant green due to the small amounts of uranium oxide used in its creation. While this makes the glass slightly radioactive, the levels are minuscule and are considered harmless by most experts, posing a risk no greater than a banana or a granite countertop.
Included Pieces:
  • 2 creamer
  • 1 sugar bowl (or similar footed bowl)
  • 1 large round plate/saucer
  • 8 cups
  • 8 saucers
  • 10 plates
Condition: All pieces are in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. There may be minor imperfections consistent with their age.
This classic depression-era glassware set is a charming addition to any collection and would be a great conversation starter at any dinner party.
Note: This set is a great example of uranium glass, which is highly sought after by collectors for its unique glow under a blacklight.
