Title: 18th cen. wine glass query?
Post by: The Glass Staircase on December 05, 2016, 05:07:06 PM

I picked up a nice double series opaque twist wine glass last week and was wondering if it is normal for glasses of such an age to contain so much uranium like the one I have pictured?

Hi,I don't think that's uranium,more likely mangenese.
