AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

For glass collectors and lovers of luminous curiosities, here is a superb mid-century uranium glass (ouraline) centerpiece bowl. Its octagonal, faceted design beautifully catches natural light with its translucent yellow-green hue. However, the real magic happens under a UV light, revealing the intense, neon-green fluorescence that defines genuine uranium glass. This is a heavy, well-crafted piece weighing 1400 g, with a height of 7 cm and a generous diameter of 28 cm. It is in excellent condition throughout. There are just two small air bubbles trapped within the glass, which are natural production flaws from the hot-shop process, adding authentic period charm. Perfect as a striking table centerpiece or a standout addition to a "Vaseline Glass" display. The package will be securely packaged to travel safely.
