Topic: Uranium bowl

[Hannah B]

Hi just wondering if uranium was also used in crystal, as have a very bright bowl here that seems crystal and not glass, though does contain air bubbles .... TIA Hannah

I assume you mean lead crystal and not just clear glass? Yes it was. A picture would be good though

Hi these aren't great photo's, but defo has a crystal ting and shine to it ....

Had trouble posting .... Too large

As it's pressed glass, it's unlikely to be lead crystal; some of the much older stuff was but this is 30s-40s I would say.
