AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A splendid and rare object for the connoisseur of antique glassware. This elegant vase, made in France, combines the refinement of opaline glass with the fascinating mystery of uranium glass (also known as Ouraline). Under normal daylight the vase has a soft, milky appearance typical of French opaline glass. However, when the object is exposed to UV light (blacklight), the vase lights up spectacularly with the characteristic, intensely bright neon-green fluorescence. Dimensions: height 16 cm, width 9 cm. Weight: 200 g. The vase has a copper rim at the top. Everything is in nice condition. Everything will be well packaged.
