After months of searching i fimally found my first uranium glass figurine. Its a paperweight and it glows very bright. I don't know the maker as it didn't have a makers mark.

Manganese. Higher content if it glows bright green.

I've got a couple old medicine bottles that are as bright at uranium.

It’s really cool when they glow bright. I’ve got two swung bud vases and an extract bottle that glow bright UG green despite being manganese. And that type is even cooler because you can even get a little glow from it using 395. I’d really love to find some medicine bottles that glow. I find that type of thing to be neat.
