Description from the seller

Beautiful ballpoint pen holder, made of uranium glass and opaline. It glows under UV-395 and UV-365 light, which confirms the use of uranium. Uranium was not only used in opaline, but glassmakers such as Val Saint Lambert, Doyen, and Scailmont also made use of it. The ballpoint pen holder is in very good condition.

Dimensions: H 9 cm x W 10.5 cm

Will be safely packaged for shipping and sent with insurance and track and trace. Photos are part of the description.
