A striking set of four elegant uranium (Vaseline) glass stemmed coupes, featuring luminous pale green bowls gracefully raised on clear glass stems and circular feet. Under ultraviolet light, the bowls exhibit the vivid fluorescent glow characteristic of authentic uranium glass, making this an especially desirable grouping for collectors of early twentieth-century American art glass and Depression-era tableware. The generously proportioned coupe bowls are enhanced by softly molded, scalloped decoration that beautifully refracts light while complementing the refined, understated profile of the clear stems. The combination of luminous uranium glass with colorless stem construction creates an elegant visual contrast that was highly fashionable during the late Art Deco and Depression glass periods. Originally intended for champagne, cocktails, desserts, or specialty wines, these glasses remain equally appealing as display pieces in a uranium glass collection. Their brilliant fluorescence under UV illumination further highlights the uranium content and adds dramatic visual appeal when displayed alongside other Vaseline glass examples. Uranium glass has become increasingly sought after for its distinctive glow, historical significance, and decorative versatility. Complete matching sets of stemware are becoming progressively more difficult to locate, making this four-piece grouping an attractive opportunity for both seasoned collectors and enthusiasts of early American pressed and elegant glass. A beautiful and functional set that embodies the craftsmanship and enduring appeal of Depression-era uranium glass.
