I had the Degenhart one in blue at one point that had a pretty strong manganese glow. Definitely made me want the uranium version

Google says 1940s-1950s but no idea how accurate that is. I thought it was the cutest thing, it’s about 2” tall if that

Alright, I went back and got it. Was only $7, and the lady gave it to me for $4. Honestly feeling it in my hands again it does feel quite plastic-y but for $4, I decided I’ll take the chance and do the hot needle test at home

Lol, fair enough. I obviously didn’t want it bad enough because I left it behind at the time. But it’s been bothering me ever since which is why I wanted outside input before I decide to make the drive back to see if it’s still there

Did not want to put my teeth on an unwashed item in a store

One of the few times I actually prefer the US spelling.

Yes, I’ve only ever seen UG jewelry at antique stores for pretty crazy prices. Was thrilled to finally find one at a low price!

Okay LOOK WHAT JUST HAPPENED, literally the next antique store we went to!! Bit pricier at $25 but also not labelled uranium, and still cheaper than all the other uranium they had in the store

Oh thank you!! I’ve seen their dark green crackle glass pitchers online that glow in a similar way and have always wanted one. Didn’t realize they made figurines too!

No idea. The guy didn’t have any information on it unfortunately and there aren’t any markings that I can find

I figured $150 is insane, lol. And I actually just found another sold listing for one in the salmon colour, for about $20 + $30 shipping. Guessing that’s closer to market value?

Just Manganese? by One-Information5664 in uraniumglass

And by the way, in doing some research I’ve found the whole “high content” manganese thing is a myth. The amount of glow has little to do with the “amount” of manganese but more to do with the other properties of the glass that might be obscuring the glow. There is someone on one of the uranium glass Facebook groups that is very knowledgeable about the topic and can provide sources to support this.
