Description from the seller

For the collector of unique rarities and enthusiasts of a nostalgic home bar or man cave: a fabulous, 35-piece mega collection of vintage barware, glass art, and historical curiosities.

This unique 'treasure box' has been crafted with care and offers a splendid mix of materials and styles that transform under a UV lamp into a spectacular light show.

Magical Light Spectacle (Uranium, Lead & Manganese):
This lot is a dream for every UV collector. It contains a rare mix of different fluorescent reactions:
* Uranium glass glow (395nm/365nm): The pink 'Rosaline' glass explodes under any UV lamp with a bright, otherworldly neon-green glow.
* Lead crystal glow: The heavy 'bulge' mood light glows with an icy, electric neon-blue star on the base.
* Intense Manganese glow (365nm): Due to the exceptionally high historical manganese content in the remaining vintage glass (including the iconic cocktail glasses and the turquoise Esso ashtray), the objects under 365nm exhibit a fabulously bright green fluorescence that hardly pales next to uranium!
