A 20-piece vintage uranium glass set from the 1960s to 1970s, comprising uranium glass and UV-reactive pieces in good used condition.
Description from the seller
A spectacular, expansive, and extremely heavy 20-piece collectible lot of high-quality vintage glass (total weight well over 7.5 kilograms!).
A unique, carefully curated mix of industrial petroliana advertising, rare UV-reactive glass, and iconic barware from the last century.
The lot consists of the following 16 objects:
Rare Uranium- & UV-Reactive Glasses:
* 5x Large Altmeister Urtyp Export beer glasses (1950s/1960s)
Beautiful, early mouth-blown tulip shapes with a gold-colored crest. Made of uranium glass
(annagreen) and glow intensely neon-green under a UV lamp. Height: 19 cm | Diameter: 6 cm |
Weight: 169 g - 179 g (craft weight variation).
* 1x Vintage Pink 'Rosaline' Diamond Glass / Tumbler (1960s/1970s):
Atmospheric glass with a deeply etched waffle/diamond pattern. Responds surprisingly under UV light due to
early metal oxides. Height: 10 cm | Diameter: 7.5 cm | Weight: 198 g.
Industrial Petroliana & Bar Advertising:
* Monumental advertising ashtray "Esso - Gas" (Hornu, Belgium, 1960s):
An extremely heavy, solid turquoise-pressed glass block with historical advertising print for A. Delcroix-
Surain. Diameter: 15.5 cm | Height: 9 cm | Weight: no less than 2815 g!
* 3x Grant's Whisky Highball glasses (1970s/1980s):
The iconic 'Vegas' model with vertical facets. Fun historical detail: the brand name 'Grant's Scotch
Whisky' is mirror-embossed on the underside, so the text becomes perfectly readable only when
you look 'deep into the glass.' Height: 13 cm | Diameter: 6 cm | Weight: 163 g - 175 g
* 2x Vintage Whisky advertising glasses (1970s/1980s)
Consisting of a Johnnie Walker tumbler with "The Striding Man" (240 g) and a tall Dewar's "White
Label" long drink glass with a Scottish highlander (198 g)
Art Deco & Vintage Design uranium glass
* Bohemian Art Deco sauce boat / sauce dish (Czechoslovakia, 1930s)
Olive-green/smoky glass with a crisp geometric stripe relief and fixed saucer. With original embossing
"Czechoslovakia" on the bottom. Diameter: 9 cm | Height: 5 cm | Weight: 411 g
* 2x Art Deco stepped bowls (in the style of Aino Aalto / Iittala)
Bowls with horizontal ring relief.
- Large: Ø 22 cm, 716 g (shows light surface scratches from use).
- Small: Ø 16 cm, 275 g
* 2x Vintage Crystal Glass Bonbon/Cashew saucers (1930s-1950s)
Elegant small saucers with a deeply embossed star and fan relief. Diameter: 10 cm | Height: 1.5 cm
Weight: 70 g & 73 g
* 3x Heavy wax candle holders (1970s)
Sturdy, thick-walled pressed glass. The smallest glass shows a soft amethyst glow.
Weights: 405 g, 356 g and 224 g
Condition
The objects are in good to excellent vintage condition. Fully intact: absolutely no chips or cracks. The large stepped bowl shows normal, light internal scratches from use, inherent to age. Everything glows nicely green under a UV lamp/black light.
Shipping
Given the enormous total weight, this lot is packed very securely and professionally with ample bubble wrap and shipped insured only with Track & Trace. Pickup is, of course, also possible.
