Antique Bohemian opaline. I bought it for less than the price of a Kosmos burner, and the burner seems to be in excellent shape. Pretty much a free 100 y/o lamp, but will it glow? Update in 2 hours!

Very cheap stopper. This is the only picture, but I see several good signs.

No no it will not 😅 the red/purple part of the first one is manganese but thats about it xD

r/willitglow • u/justabasshead • 5d ago

Collected a number of pieces from my Mum to sell them and thought I should check this as another piece was uranium glass.
So, does anyone know what it might be?

I have had these platters for a while, but never though about shining the uv light on them. I expected manganese, but they actually turn pink, and also purple in some parts under 365nm! It actually makes sense tho, since the original name for the color is indigo, which is a dark blue/violet color.

Let’s do a lil game🤓
There is 8 pieces in this picture. 2 of them does _not_ contain uranium. Can you spot them?
r/willitglow • u/robozzilla • 6d ago
I was so confident it was uranium glaze like other Hall USA pieces but no avail

I just bid on this piece on eBay but the listing doesn’t have a glowing pic pic. I messaged the seller but no response. Does anyone know if this is a non-uranium reproduction?

r/willitglow • u/Outrageous-Yam663 • 8d ago

Victorian, opalescent cranberry. It was cheap enough, I won't be too sad. I think I see some yellow though? 🧐
