AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A striking vintage mid-century hand-blown art glass pitcher / decanter crafted in vivid ruby-orange glass with an applied clear handle and a finely cut/faceted clear glass stopper.
When exposed to UV light (365nm / 395nm blacklight), the lower body and core glow with a fiery, brilliant orange-red fluorescent reaction due to the inclusion of cadmium and selenium salts in the glass mixture during production.
Design / Style: Mid-Century Modern Art Glass (likely Italian / Murano or Bohemian / Czech origin)
Designer / Manufacturer: Attributed to Mid-Century European Art Glass (unmarked; reminiscent of Venetian/Murano or Empoli studio glass)
Period: Mid-20th Century (ca. 1960s–1970s)
Material: Hand-Blown Cadmium & Selenium Glass, Clear Crystal
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Free of cracks, chips, or major flaws. Ground mouth and stopper fit cleanly.
A rare and eye-catching piece for collectors of UV-reactive art glass like uranium glass, cadmium glass, and mid-century decanters.
Will be carefully packaged and shipped insured with tracking.
