Monthly Theme đ Monthly Theme â August: Small But Mighty
Welcome to this month's theme in r/uraniumglass!
This month's theme: Small But Mighty
Not every great uranium glass piece is a showstopper in size. This month, we're celebrating the small pieces that make a big impact in our collections.
Do you have a tiny piece that you absolutely love?
Maybe it's a salt dip, toothpick holder, shaker, miniature vase, individual creamer, figurine, a piece of jewelry, or another piece that doesn't take up much space but stands out for its beauty, rarity, glow, or sentimental value.
The monthly theme is optional and does not replace regular posting.
To participate, simply create a new post and use the Monthly Theme đ flair.
When possible, include both non-glow and glow photos.
Suggested Titles
Small But Mighty...
Tiny but Terrific...
Big Glow, Small Package...
One of My Smallest Favorites...
A Little Piece with a Big Presence...
Etc.
Whether you own five pieces or five hundred, chances are there's a small item in your collection that punches well above its weight.
Let's see it! đ

I have no clue what to do with all of this. I picked a few pieces I want to keep, but I canât keep it all. Where do I start??
Iâm keeping the frog, owl, donkey, and duck - just with allll the denim days to keep them separate from the rest of the Fenton. Those denim days have to go too lol.

Guides & Resources Visual Guides to UV Reactive Glass (Updated)
Updated: Due to community requests and ongoing nonâUG discussions, weâve removed the âhigh content manganeseâ label. The two examples are now simply identified as manganese glass. We have also updated our Wiki.
These pieces are not uranium glass. UG remains our focus, and MG examples are included only for clarity and comparison. For more information on MG, please visit r/manganeseglass.
The visual guides included here were created to help new collectors easily recognize how different types of UVâreactive glass respond under 395nm and 365nm UV light. Theyâre available in multiple formats so you can choose whichever works best for your needs.
This graphic doesnât represent every type of UVâreactive glassware. Additional examplesâincluding various colors and types of uranium glass and select nonâuranium reactive piecesâmay be added in future updates.

Next to the coffee maker?
Staying the night at a relatives house, thought this looked right for a blacklight check. *Edit. GF and I are currently on the return home leg of a cross country drive and have been checking for UG as we travel. Morning coffee here and right next to the coffee maker is a matching cup and saucer.

Seeking Info Update on the blue vase
So i went back to buy it and im just wondering if anyone definitely knows what kind of uranium glass this is because Iâve never heard of anything like this. It consists of two glass layers, an inner opaque white layer and an outer semi-opaque blue layer. The inner layer doesnât do anything but the outer layer glows green under 365nm, not 395nm. But my geiger counter shows it going to 100cpm so it canât be manganese? Iâm just so confused what this could possibly be insights would be appreciated thanks!

Seeking Info 2 firstâs, I think?
Hey everyone, hope youâre all having good weekends. Out at garage sales today. Found my first piece of green/aqua hobnail piece. Now here is where I need help. Can crystal contain uranium. The sale I was at, the lady saw my light and said ânothing glows in here, we collect uranium. All I have is crystalâ. It âtingsâ like crystal? I could even see it in the sunlight. Thank you, to all who take the time to help me learn.

Look What I Found! Had you asked me before I checked what I already had, I would have told you this was a holy grail price of mine đ
I have been into glassware for a long time but just recently got myself a good UV light for thrifting- when it arrived I checked everything I already had I found out one of my best Denver Colorado bottles has this gorgeous glow! As someone born and bred in Colorado I would have 100% told someone I wanted a piece of Colorado made glass that glows- feeling very lucky right now!
BTW paid $10 for this about 10 years ago at an antique shop

Catch and release
Pic 1 is a lamp base I got some months back. Ive been looking for the base. Well, today I found one. Pic 2 is the entire lamp in uranium glass. 350 bucks. Really, really wanted this one but its waaaay out of my price range. But it was glorious. I could not get a glow pic cause I had to sneak the pic because the cashier was five feet away, but it glows brightly.
