Clear uranium glass vase
« on: June 10, 2013, 01:35:32 PM »
Hi I have an ice clear vase that under uv shines well ...... I can't upload any photo's atm, but it looks swedish-y to me ...... The inside is hollowed out and frosted glass and the vase itself is oblong ...... I can't find it anywhere, but being clear glass am wondering how usual this is? ..... TIA H  ;)

I think we'll just have to wait until you can manage some pics. :)

If it'scolourless, it is NOT uranium glass. It may contain the decolouriser manganese, which gives a dullish green glow under UV light.
