Description from the seller

Uranium Glass Antique Toiletry Set – Lot of 6 pieces – European Glassware – Early 20th Century

Rare and elegant antique toiletry set consisting of six matched pieces in uranium glass, displaying a bright green fluorescence under ultraviolet light, a hallmark of glassworks produced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The lot includes:
– 1 atomizer bottle with original whistle/pump and tubing
– 2 bottles with matching glass stoppers
– 1 goblet
– 2 small dishes/bowls

The set is made in pale green molded glass, revealing under UV a spectacular luminescence, confirming the presence of uranium in the composition. The forms are harmonious and functional, typical of vanity or dressing table services from the Art Nouveau / early Art Deco period. The faceted stoppers and balanced proportions testify to careful workmanship.

Condition:
Good overall condition for its age. Presence of internal bubbles and slight manufacturing traces, normal for this type of old glassware.
Notable: a small chip visible on the edge of the oval dish (see close-up photos). No other cracks or restorations observed. The atomizer is complete with its original mechanism (functionality not tested).

Dating:
Early 20th century (circa 1900–1930)

Origin:
European glassware (France or Central Europe), stylistic attribution

Important notes:
– Strong, uniform UV fluorescence across all pieces
– Cohesive lot, sold complete as shown
– Photos under UV light are part of the description
– Collectible object, decorative use recommended
– Especially careful packaging for secure shipping

A rare and decorative set, highly sought after by uranium glass and antique vanity collectors, ideal for display cases, specialized collections, or distinctive decor.
