Description from the seller

Yellow uranium glass toilet set (Ouraline, Uranium) - Brockwitz Glassworks - Circa 1915 - Germany.
Generally confused with the productions of Verreries de Scailmont (Manage, Belgium). The only difference with Scailmont is the presence of two finely molded vertical lines on the Brockwitz pieces, Scaimont products having only one.
This lot comes from the 1915 catalog
Lot consisting of:
2 powder jars without their lids
1 pin tray

The Brockwitz glassworks began production in 1903 under the name « Glasfabrik AG ». The bankruptcy of the Vereinigte « Radeberger Glashütten AG » (United Radeberger Glassworks Ltd) was a stroke of luck for the young company. Thanks to this bankruptcy, the Brockwitz factory could recruit skilled workers and employees. Thanks to good order management and the factory’s profitability, the « Glashüttenwerke Heinrich Plötz & Co. » of Ottendorf-Okrilla, then in bankruptcy, was acquired in 1914 to develop the business. The Brockwitz glassworks continued to expand. In 1923, the glass production of the « Steingutfabrik AG Sörnewitz », specialized in cut glass, was integrated into Brockwitz glassworks. The Brockwitz company then owned seven fusion furnaces: one at the Ottendorf-Okrilla plant, three at Sörnewitz and seven at Brockwitz. Because of the global economic crisis, the Brockwitz glassworks were forced to abandon its Ottendorf-Okrilla plant in 1929. However, the plant management did not want to relinquish the know-how acquired by the glassmakers of Ottendorf-Okrilla, and a regular service was set up for the Brockwitz glassmakers to Ottendorf-Orkrilla.
During World War II, prisoners of war from the Soviet Union, Poland and France were conscripted into the factory for war production. The glassworks produced hand grenades and glass mines. Brockwitz also produced glass for aircraft construction. After the war, the factory was completely dismantled by the Russian forces.

Very rare set, and UV-reactive at 395 nm, which attests to the presence of uranium.
A must for any Ouraline (ouraline) collector.
