About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This Depression Glass, UV-reactive thanks to the presence of selenium, embodies a fascinating era in glassmaking. Its natural amber hue transforms into a reddish glow under ultraviolet light, a characteristic highly sought after by collectors of antique glass.
Made of molded glass, this piece features a complex geometric star-shaped base, typical of Art Deco designs. The amber, or light brown, color is achieved by adding selenium during the melting process, a common technique in the early 20th century. The base of the glass bears a distinct maker's mark, attesting to its authenticity and origin.
The overall condition is excellent, reflecting meticulous care over the decades. The glass retains its original clarity and brilliance, with no significant alteration to its structure or color.
This UV-reactive glass is perfectly suited for a collector's display case or a vintage-inspired bar. It pairs perfectly with other colored glass pieces or Art Deco style decorative objects, bringing a touch of history and scientific curiosity to any interior.
