Uranium glass, also known as Vaseline glass, boasts a captivating history steeped in rarity and intrigue. Originating in the late 19th century, this luminous glassware gained popularity for its distinct fluorescence under ultraviolet light, a trait attributed to the uranium oxide content within its composition. Initially prized by European aristocracy for its ethereal glow, uranium glass quickly became a symbol of opulence and refinement. However, its production faced setbacks during wartime restrictions and eventual safety concerns regarding radioactive materials. Today, finding uranium sea glass is not only extremely rare, it is a collector's item, cherished for its elusive beauty and the mystique of its uncommon origins.
