Vase - Glass - Antique Uranium Glass

A rare and decorative antique uranium glass vase, featuring an exceptional hand-shaped design holding a flared and scalloped rim. This sculptural piece dates to the Art Nouveau period (circa 1860-1890) and reflects the elegant, organic forms typical of that era. Under UV light, the vase emits a strong and vivid green fluorescence, confirming the presence of uranium in the glass. The glow is natural and clearly visible, making this piece especially attractive to collectors. The detailed hand motif and refined craftsmanship suggest a likely origin in Bohemia or France, regions well known for high-quality decorative glass production around 1900. Dimensions:    •   Height: approx. 21 cm    •   Neck diameter: approx. 9.5 cm Condition: Very good antique condition. No cracks or chips observed. Minor signs of age and use consistent with its period. Additional note: Photos under UV light are included to demonstrate the authentic uranium fluorescence. No artificial effects or filters have been used.
