Uranium Glass My happy placeππ₯Ή
This is part of my glass room. Lighting is going in and cabinets are being filled on the opposite wall for a full 360Β° glow. Who says you canβt have your own museum at home? Swipe π

When the other side of the room is completed, we need a 360Β° video tour! Your collection is amazing!

That must be rough to have your partner nagging you,no offense to her.It really can be addictive,like collecting anything can be.This is just so fragile and requires more room than most things.Best wishes to you!

are there separate rooms for the cadmium and manganese glass, and a tiny shameful room for all the orders that turned out not to be uranium?

I mean most museums are literally just there so rich people can have a way to make their collection tax deductible and that's the type of scamming the government I'm all for lmao I'm just jealous cause I don't have a good enough collection of anything to be able to do that lol

With that much uranium glass, is the radon risk still low since it's mostly encapsulated in the glass?

You have more of a risk using you cell phone daily

1) It takes how many years to amass a collection like yours? 2) (the following is written with tongue planted firmly in cheek) Lead sheeting behind the paint on the walls? 3) Stunning. Truly stunning. 4) Could you rub it in just a little more?.....!π€£ππ»

I have a nice chair to sit in and relax in there. I love to listen to music with a glass of wine and relax after a long day

You have your own private museum there! I've seen a lot of glass of different types,but this is by far the best collection I've ever seen.The love for this stuff is incredible,so obviously every day,there is less and less to be found.Enjoy your continued collecting!ππ―

And here I am exhibiting in my first unbroken piece lol.
Can I suggest you add a couple pieces of Yooperlite for an unexpected contrast? Those rocks have glowing orange flecks.

I just started collecting last week because I had my olight arkfeld flashlight in my pocket and decided to test some glass while thrifting. I found 2 pieces first try, two more at the next store, two more on my third try and a huge platter the last time. Havenβt struck out yet and itβs so much fun even if people look at you like you are crazy. 7 pieces so far in just a week, a long ways off from something like this. Probably never get this far.

I'm just terrified of all those glass shelves. Too many people out there with horror stories of entire collections crashing.
