Description :

Summary: A striking pair of vintage uranium glass pieces—a bulbous pitcher and cylindrical tumbler—that emit a vivid green glow under ultraviolet light. The pitcher features a clear body with a curved handle and subtle purple fluorescence, while the tumbler is opaque and compact. Likely produced mid-century, these pieces exemplify the luminous charm of uranium-infused glassware. Ideal for collectors of Depression glass, scientific curiosities, or glowing tabletop décor.
