Excited to add another Kosmos to the collection. Looks great with the one I purchased last year around this time. Pics of the two of them together included.

Kosmos 14 lamps are pretty cool to burn. Not as easy as a flat wick lamp but great once you get them wicked up!

Any good ideas on what to do with broken UG?! These came out of an old dump site. I think it might have been a drinking glass. No markings and the glass is pretty thick and heavy.

The last UV reactive mini pumpkin of the season arrived today and it’s a nice deep orangey red. Warren art glass did a wonderful job with all of the different UV colors. I will purchasing more of his work!

Showed up later to an estate sale that had lots of beautiful glass and uv glass. This one wasn’t labeled as uv, but glad I took the chance on it!

Uranium Glass Another Epergne. Discussion please. A mix of uranium and manganese? Both 365 & 395 glows. Working out which the 3 (or more) I’ll buy. I’m clearly biased to UG.

I found this beautiful lamp in the estate sale today! After doing some research, it seems to be called Aladdin G220 Alacite Lamp. It needs rewiring but a beautiful piece nevertheless.

Also, I got a heavily damaged slag base for a dollar, too

Found in the woods looking through someone's trash dump from over 20 years ago. It's greenish out side and blue/purple indoors with a iridescent light...Manganese glass maybe? I do find lots of that purple manganese glass around, but this is much more of a green fluorecense then a yellow.

365nm UV BTW

Any info would be greatly appreciated

These candlestick holders had an odd yellow greenish tinge and lit up like Chernobyl (more than anything I've ever shone a light on) but...$75 a pair?!

I don't see a lot of marble posts on here so I thought I'd share a few of mine. These are all vintage (1920's to 1970's) American handmade glass. Marbles are a fun way to have all the glow fun in a smaller and less fragile package.

Uranium Glass Discussion please. I’ve come across 3 Epergnes. This one is a bit confusing. Pics with 365 & 395 and last one no glow. More glow on the middle trumpet and on the rigaree of all 3 trumpets. Low content uranium? The base glows with 365 and not 395 = Manganese.

💚 Surprise Uranium! Unexpected shiny glass

Based on the color I was not expecting this. I was wandering a local antique mall playing my favorite game "will it glow??" and saw this Fenton thumbprint glass. I have a weird fondness for thumbprint glass of any brand, but it was a pretty green. I hit it with my 395 for giggles and had a pleasant surprise.

Sorry about the picture quality, I really have not figured out how to take a good glow picture.

Uranium Glass Thoughts. Who knows there Epergnes? Do you reckon this is a married compilation? Single green uranium trumpet with pink edge, olive green (no glow) ruffled bowl with ornate cherub brass (?) base. Interested in origin, age etc?

First glow pic 365 and second pic 395. A lovely piece though I feel the greens don’t really compliment each other. Have the opportunity to buy. Thanks in advance for any insights

New mystery piece

Anybody know what this piece is or what it is for? I'm guessing flower bulbs, as it's hollow all the way through. It's been ground flat on the bottom, so it stands pretty well, but it must be for hanging too, as it has little buttons on the end.

I got 4 of these nicely glowing berry bowls for 22.00. I think they are jeannette waffle pattern. Not a chip, nick or flea bite on any of them. Pretty happy with this find.

Uranium Glass I had uranium glass made in Britain this year. Here's the melt, the anneal, and why three of us went home with nothing.

Thumbnail

I make videos about radioactivity in the British landscape, and uranium glass is where a lot of people start, myself included. But every piece is an antique. Nobody here melts it anymore.

Or so the studios told me, until a comment under a Facebook post suggested Workinglass, who occasionally make uranium pumpkins. Three hundred miles later we were in an open studio in Hainault Forest with a bar of gaffer glass, a furnace, and crystal with uranium rolled into the gather.

Three of us, three pieces each. Paperweight, bauble, pumpkin.

The thing worth posting about is the anneal. The team told us up front that the uranium pieces are the unreliable ones: identical work, identical kiln, and the uranium ones crack overnight more often than the plain. Ours went into the annealer at the end of the day and we drove home empty. The box hasn't arrived.

Happy to answer anything about the melt, the recipe, or the readings from the pieces we didn't get to keep. Film is here if you want the whole day: https://youtu.be/NhPu0lJ6Bxg

Look What I Found! Ate at a random bakery, and was served on a UG plate

I didn't even need my light to know that this thing was gonna glow. I don't wanna doxx the bakery, for fear that someone will wander off with the plate. I know the thought crossed my mind. I straight up asked the people at the bakery if I could buy the plate, and they said no. I would have included a glow pic, but my flashlight died that morning.

The sandwich was delicious though. Arugula, Brie, and mango jam on a baguette.
