AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered, without a reserve price, a pair of Victorian hand-blown uranium-glass vases, circa late 19th century.
These beautiful Victorian hand-blown uranium glass vases are finished in a characteristic yellow-green tint. This type of glassware was particularly popular in the late 19th century and is highly valued by collectors today.
These vases are made of uranium glass, recognizable by the warm yellow-green color and the intense green fluorescence under UV light (visible in the photos). The upper edge is richly finished with a ribbed, undulating (ruffled) finish, while the clear glass details at the rim and foot provide an elegant contrast. The foot is transparent and gracefully formed, giving the whole piece a refined appearance.
This object is entirely hand-blown, resulting in subtle variations and an authentic character. A decorative and historic glass piece that excels both in a display cabinet and under UV lighting.
