AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
nice clear glass cup that under normal light looks transparent. under UV light the glass shows a striking green fluorescence.
natural uranium glass. under UV light the glass fluoresces bright green due to the presence of a small amount of uranium oxide.
The glasses are mouth-blown into a goblet shape, after which hand knots and lines have been engraved on them.
The glasses are made of glass in which a portion of pure crystal was added; this often happened in the 19th century to give the glasses a nicer luster. At the same time, the purity levels were not as high as they are today. This can be seen by the small air bubbles in the glass.
