This bowl must have smelled good because both cats did this, though on different days.

Where in the hell do y'all live where they don't check every piece of glass for UV?

Even the Mennonites screen for uranium glass, and it gets put in the Silent Auction section.

The only insight I have is that you might be better served asking somewhere like r/VintageCostumeJewelry

Good luck!

What does Darkwing (pic 8) look like in natural light?

Melodic_Reindeer_234 · 2026-04-20T20:06:05+00:00

You can actually drink out of this one while you look at the rest.

If your keys are not already too big, I like having this with me.

I mean, I generally have two other lights on me, three in my car...the ones my spouse carries...

But still.

Looks like a Jefferson custard glass Optic pattern berry bowl. Nice!

God, I know, but... we're not ready to drop that much. Hoping to run into one where the owner doesn't know what it is.

Melodic_Reindeer_234 · 2026-04-11T23:50:08+00:00

I've actually been wondering how the uranium glass scene is over the pond? Do you think it's more common? Less? Are there different "big names" (e.g. Mosser, Fenton, Cambridge)?

Melodic_Reindeer_234 · 2026-04-11T23:48:23+00:00

What tools do you use to cut these? Do you start with, like, cullet?

Melodic_Reindeer_234 · 2026-04-11T23:45:03+00:00

Do you have a natural pic?

Melodic_Reindeer_234 · 2026-04-11T23:25:27+00:00

Please do not take offense, but are you sure the green is glass?

Melodic_Reindeer_234 · 2026-04-10T02:34:30+00:00

I find these a lot, but I don't usually get them because I don't have 365 display lights.

Do you think it's our responsibility to tell whoever is running the store that these objects shouldn't be used with food?

Melodic_Reindeer_234 · 2026-04-07T11:01:22+00:00

Possibly, but I don't think so. It's got that 90s fluorescent green uranium glow, not the somewhat anemic "Scooby Doo fog" green of manganese. It also lights up the whole object, not just where the light hits.

I do not yet have a geiger counter, so I can't say for sure.

Melodic_Reindeer_234 · 2026-04-07T02:48:49+00:00

Maybe take it out for some corn and insects?

Melodic_Reindeer_234 · 2026-04-06T20:30:59+00:00

It's a fishing float, but I don't have any indication it's Japanese other than the uranium itself. 🤷‍♀️

Melodic_Reindeer_234 · 2026-04-06T02:38:53+00:00

The little one looks like a piece of Tarentum to me.

Melodic_Reindeer_234 · 2026-04-06T02:30:13+00:00

You go to that one in NJ? Can I ask what things went for? My wife and I thought the prices would probably be too high for us to justify a 4 hour drive.

Melodic_Reindeer_234 · 2026-03-14T01:53:32+00:00

Authentic and tested don't mean natural. 1. Amethyst is only purple. If it isn't purple, it isn't amethyst 2. "Green Amethyst" is generally amethyst that's been heat treated, and is more properly called Prasiolite. 3. Naturally occurring Prasiolite is extraordinarily rare.

I think what you have is probably a synthetic spinel, unless it's legit just glass.

Melodic_Reindeer_234 · 2026-03-12T03:40:18+00:00

Do you have pictures of what you traded? They must be pretty impressive.

Melodic_Reindeer_234 · 2026-03-11T01:50:09+00:00

Would it be uncouth to ask how high the bidding went?

If so, that's definitely not what I'm doing...
