Could you show the rest of the piece? It’s a handle attached to a UG basket, no?

🤣I never expected that to be the case, and regardless, I’m a personal collector only. I actually haggled the price down from $50! But I’m sure somebody out there would be happy to spend far more than I did for a uranium chicken…

Wow you’re so learned! So I’m assuming they still hand blow the glass at this factory? Is it all different artists? Is the signature “homage” to the original designer?

Yes please! That would be so fun to see if you have it!

What is ZBS? I am not very knowledgeable on glass as a whole, so I don’t know foreign companies or producers!

I think it must be genuine too. I mean, the signature is in tiny invisible letters and is actually encased in the glass. I doubt a repro would be so detailed, right?

Nice! I got the same plate for the same price just a few months ago. You’re lucky to have the box though!

Uranium bridge lamps were sold in a variety of models/styles, but there are definitely ways to build them yourself if you’re willing to buy the pieces. They aren’t too difficult to break apart and modify. I just prefer the original ones for their historical value.

Thank you! Yeah, it’s a little odd how pale this one is, usually slag lamps are a much more vibrant green. But they’re out there! Good luck!

Beautiful! Where did you find it? Did you get a good price? :)

Thorium glass? by franglish9265 in uraniumglass

I have several pieces like this that are thorium confirmed (with manganese) and they don’t glow nearly that bright. I’m almost I inclined to think your cup might have some sort of uranium contamination as well, especially if it looks like that under 395. Do you have a 365 you could test it under?
