A charming and highly collectible collection of six Depression-era uranium glass stemware pieces, comprising five elegant goblets and one smaller cordial or liqueur glass. Each features a beautifully molded optic swirl bowl supported by a stepped stem and vibrant Vaseline uranium glass foot, producing an exceptional fluorescent glow under ultraviolet light. The larger goblets display graceful trumpet-form bowls with finely molded spiral decoration that catches and refracts light beautifully, while the petite cordial complements the group with matching design elements in a smaller scale. The vivid uranium glass feet illuminate brilliantly beneath UV light, showcasing the authentic uranium content that has made these pieces increasingly sought after by collectors. Produced during the golden age of American pressed glass manufacturing in the 1930s and early 1940s, uranium glass combined practical tableware with striking visual appeal through the addition of small amounts of uranium oxide to the glass batch. Today these pieces are prized both for their elegant period styling and their unmistakable fluorescence. This well-matched six-piece grouping offers an excellent opportunity for collectors seeking to expand a uranium glass stemware collection or assemble an attractive Depression-era table setting. Their elegant proportions, optic-molded decoration, and brilliant UV response make them equally suitable for display or occasional entertaining. An appealing and decorative collection exhibiting the timeless craftsmanship and distinctive character of classic American uranium glass.

  • Condition: Overall very good vintage condition. The glasses appear free from observed chips, cracks, or repairs. Minor surface wear and light scratches to the bases are consistent with age and careful use. All pieces exhibit strong uranium fluorescence under ultraviolet light.
