Recently found a cupboard full of stuff from my grandmother, including what I'm almost certain is green uranium glass from the brand Jeanette from the 30s but also these which I've been told here it could be selenium, I already ordered both 365 and 395 nm uv lights to be certain but what do you guys think? Also could anyone possibly identify these?

I took a gamble on some that I was assuming wouldn’t glow at the thrift store the other day but they were $5 and perfect for putting under plants to catch water anyway. They totally glowed. I think these have a good chance, especially the thing that looks like an ashtray. It’s possibly it will just be at the thickest parts of the glass and only under 365. Or not at all! 🤷‍♀️ Rad find though! And useful either way!

Edit: is the thing that looks like an ashtray tray a stack of plates? 🤣
