AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful Murano-style bowl, partly made from uranium glass and manganese glass. It glows under UV-395 (photo with purple light) and UV-365 light (photo where the vase lights up brightly), which confirms the use of uranium and manganese. Uranium and manganese were not only used in Murano glass, but glassmakers such as Val Saint Lambert, Doyen, and Scailmont also made use of them. The uranium concentration is low, but it is still visible (see photos with purple light).

The bowl is in very good condition with minimal chips at the bottom that are visible in the photos.

Dimensions: approx. H 24.5 cm x W 30 cm

Carefully packed for shipping and shipped with shipping insurance and tracking. Photos are part of the description.
