AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This beautiful set of six glasses is made from uranium glass, a special type of glass notable for its soft yellow-green glow and unique appearance. Glasses made by the Belgian glass factory Doyen, early 20th century. The uranium glass emits under UV light a characteristic fluorescent light-green color, which makes these glasses not only functional but also very decorative. The glasses have a classic goblet shape with a sturdy foot. They are perfectly suited for serving liqueurs, dessert wines, or other beverages, but also look stunning as collectible objects or as a showpiece in a display cabinet. This set represents a special example of glasswork from a period when aesthetics and craftsmanship went hand in hand, and will surely appeal to both antique glass enthusiasts and uranium glass collectors. All 6 glasses in good condition. The dimensions: height 13.5 cm, top diameter 5 cm, foot diameter 6.4 cm. Weight per piece 100 g.
