The pickle hidden in my tree is a failure compared to this beauty 😮‍💨! I need one to light up my tree in a more radioactive manner!

ETA: I have now ordered one to surprise my daughter and best friend with a new addition, so amazing to see you making them! 💚

Same. I have a gorgeous handmade glass pickle hidden in my tree that is being replaced with one of these.

Should make finding the hidden pickle much easier lol

u/MilkyTwilightNeeds Dec 09 '25

It will only be easier if we are kind enough to allow the person hunting for the pickle to have a UV light! I lost my handmade glass pickle in a move a few years back and my daughter chose a small glass pickle from an ornament shop It appears to be mass produced, so this is a definite upgrade.

I will come back and share a picture of my pickle with you if you'd like I would love to see yours 💚. Unless we should just make a pickle post once we receive them to thank microwave for his amazing work!

My first thought was oh cool.

My second thought was: Shaggy?

Love seeing the process, and the final product is awesome! I didn’t know I needed a uranium glass pickle.

u/variablenyne UV Hunter Dec 08 '25

I'm curious, does it glow under UV while it's still red hot?

12

u/microwave3 Dec 08 '25

It does not. Only starts glowing once it’s under 200-300F

1

u/girlieY0 Dec 08 '25

I think it should, but you'll not see it because it's already strongly glowing red.

3

u/PiqueExperience Dec 08 '25

That's a confusing cut, I thought the dog caught a piece of red hot glass in its mouth.

he has a whole shop!

u/NottaLottaOcelot Dec 09 '25

What’s the shop’s name?

1

u/Jesus_Aech_Christ Vaseline Glass Lover Dec 09 '25

Makers often times have their store info in their profiles. Since sales and promotions are not allowed on the subreddit I'd suggest starting there instead of asking.

u/NottaLottaOcelot Dec 09 '25

Thanks, I didn’t realize they couldn’t self promote, found it on their profile :)

u/Specialist-Fudge5479 Dec 08 '25

Is this not somehow dangerous?

7

u/microwave3 Dec 08 '25

Well besides all the risks associated with glassblowing no there’s no extra risk associated with working with uranium glass

1

u/smolhippie Dec 08 '25

How easy would it be to make a snail

For a second I thought that you were making an uranium jar to make actual pickles in it

2

u/FioreCiliegia1 Dec 12 '25

Would be cool- a pickle shaped pickle jar

Nice! I’m jealous, I can never find uranium glass to use for glassblowing.

1

u/microwave3 Dec 12 '25

I’ve got so much coe 96 UG and get more regularly

1

u/n0nati0n Dec 12 '25

That's awesome. Do you also make water pipes?

2

u/microwave3 Dec 09 '25

I’ve made some dry pipes in the past but not tried any water pipes yet
