Description

9-Piece Uranium Glass Lot — Juicer, Flower Frog, Dolphin Candlestick & Silver-Caddy Relish

A nine-piece assembled lot of green uranium (vaseline) glass dating to the 1920s–1940s, the heart of American Depression-era pressed glass production. Each piece is UV-reactive, glowing brilliant chartreuse under blacklight — the unmistakable signature of trace uranium oxide in the batch. The mix of patterns indicates an assembled collection rather than a matched service, with forms ranging from utilitarian kitchenware to decorative tabletop pieces.

Highlights include a ribbed citrus juicer/reamer with spouted handle, a double-arm candlestick on a shell-form base with rope-twist standard, and an oval floral frog with multiple apertures (listed by staff as a pen holder; form is consistent with a flower frog for arranging cut stems). The divided relish tray sits in its original silver-plate caddy with pierced geometric gallery and wire bail handle — a complete, displayable set component. Rounding out the lot: a tall scallop-rim creamer, a shorter spouted creamer, a panel-cut footed sherbet, a concentric-ring saucer, and a long-handled punch or condiment ladle.


CONDITION

Good overall. All glass pieces are free of chips or cracks. The flower frog shows roughness to the underside and minor imperfections. The silver-plate caddy has tarnish, surface wear, and a replaced joint at the bail handle — still functions as intended.
