Uranium Glass

Uranium glass, also known as Vaseline glass, is a type of glass that contains a small amount of uranium oxide, giving it a distinctive green or yellow-green color. It fluoresces bright green under ultraviolet light due to the uranium's natural luminescent properties. Although it contains radioactive material, the radioactivity level is very low and generally considered safe for handling and display. Historically, it was popular for decorative objects, jewelry, and tableware, appreciated for its unique color and glow. Its glow and subtle coloration make it a collectible piece of glassware with both aesthetic and historical interest.
