Description from the seller

Bonbonnière / uranium glass cookie jar with metal frame – Art Deco – lid – UV fluorescence

Elegant Art Deco candy/bonbonnière composed of a green uranium glass container mounted in a pierced metal framework with side handles and matching lid.

The glass exhibits spectacular green fluorescence under UV light, characteristic of uranium-based glassware produced mainly in the first half of the 20th century.

The perforated metal frame features a geometric repetitive design typical of the Art Deco style, allowing light to pass through and highlight the color of the glass.
