Description :

This is a beautiful vintage oval refrigerator dish made from uranium glass, also known as Vaseline glass. This type of glass was popular during the Depression era (1930s) for kitchenware and is highly collectible today.
The dish glows a vibrant, bright green under a black light, a hallmark of genuine uranium glass. It features a ribbed or paneled design on the body and a fitted lid with a recessed ridged handle. These dishes were originally used for storing food in the refrigerator before the widespread use of plastic containers.
This piece is in very good vintage condition, with no cracks or major chips, though some light surface wear or "flea bites" around the inner rim may be present, which is typical for an item of this age.
A perfect addition for any collector of Depression glass or unique vintage kitchen items.
