Between 1870 and 1940 uranium—or annagreen glass—was produced on a fairly large scale. Since uranium glass is still rarely produced today, it has become a popular collectible. Uranium was usually added in small quantities so that the green or yellow glass fluoresces when illuminated under ultraviolet light. It was mainly used in lamps, bowls, wine glasses, … among others the glass factories Leerdam, Murano and Val Saint Lambert produced uranium glass.
