An attractive and increasingly scarce set of six uranium glass footed tumblers, featuring elegantly flared optic-molded bowls raised on distinctive Vaseline glass stems and circular feet. Under ultraviolet light, the stems and bases display the brilliant neon-green fluorescence that has made authentic uranium glass highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Each glass exhibits a refined trumpet-form bowl enhanced with a subtle spiral optic pattern that creates exceptional visual movement while beautifully refracting light. The contrast between the nearly colorless bowls and luminous uranium glass stems exemplifies the innovative glassmaking techniques popular during the late Depression and early Art Deco periods, when manufacturers experimented with combining decorative forms and specialty glass compositions. Originally intended for water, iced tea, wine, or specialty beverages, these elegant glasses are equally impressive as display pieces within a uranium glass collection. Their dramatic fluorescence under UV illumination makes them particularly desirable for collectors who appreciate both functional tableware and glowing display cabinets. Uranium glass remains one of the most collected categories of twentieth-century American decorative glass, admired for its unique chemistry, historical significance, and unmistakable fluorescence. Matching six-piece sets featuring this combination of optic bowls and Vaseline glass stems are becoming increasingly difficult to locate, enhancing both their decorative and collectible appeal. An elegant and visually striking collection that beautifully represents the artistry and innovation of Depression-era uranium glass production.

  • Condition: Overall very good vintage condition. All six glasses are free from observed chips, cracks, or repairs. Light surface wear and minor scratching to the bases consistent with age and careful use. The uranium glass stems and feet exhibit strong fluorescence under ultraviolet light.
