Bidspirit auction | Uranium Glass Ruffled Rim Optic

Uranium Glass Ruffled Rim Optic Rib Vase - This decorative flower vase is crafted from uranium glass, characterized by its translucent pale green color in natural light and its distinct, bright neon green fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet UV light. The vessel is constructed using a mold-blown technique featuring vertical optic ribbing that provides a fluted or paneled appearance. The piece is finished with a hand-flared ruffled rim with six petals. The base is circular and flat with a recessed center, lacking a visible pontil scar, which is consistent with polished mold-formed production. While no maker marks are present, the design and material are characteristic of mid-20th-century American glassware, specifically resembling the optic rib patterns produced by companies such as Anchor Hocking or Imperial Glass.
