Description from the seller

This magnificent homogeneous set of four uranium-glass vanity bottles comes from the famous Scailmont glassworks in Belgium, fitting into the pure Art Deco aesthetics of the 1930s. Made from molded-pressed uranium glass, these bottles feature a delicate translucent green-yellow hue that glows with a spectacular green fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet rays. The set has a total weight of 750 grams and ranges progressively from the smallest to the largest model to create perfect visual harmony. The first bottle measures 11 centimeters in height with a base diameter of 5 centimeters, in overall good condition. The second piece stands 13 centimeters tall with a base diameter of 55 millimeters, showing a small discreet chip at the neck as well as an original stopper that has been re-glued. The third bottle rises to 15 centimeters in height with a base diameter of 6 centimeters, while the largest of the group measures 16 centimeters in height with a base diameter of 75 millimeters. The entire glassware set is presented in a beautiful state of aesthetic conservation, showing only a few whitish internal traces related to the use of old toilet products, a normal patina that does not alter in any way the luminous brilliance of this collector's suite.
