Description from the seller

Uranium glass basket – Art Deco – green vaseline glass – UV reactive

Gorgeous vintage uranium glass basket dating from the Art Deco period (circa 1920–1940).

Perfect as a trinket dish, centerpiece, fruit bowl, serving dish, or decoration.

This elegant piece of hand-blown green vaseline glass features a rounded basin with a fitted/raised handle and subtle molded decoration. Under UV light, the glass emits a bright, intense fluorescent glow, confirming its uranium content.

- True uranium/vaseline glass
- Intense UV fluorescence (see photos)
- Elegant raised handle with floral details at the mounting points
- Decorative molded pattern

Condition:
Good overall.
Note: Fine cracks are visible at both mounting points of the handle (see close-up photos).
The basket’s structure remains solid, but these cracks should be taken into account. No chips or major repairs observed.
