Description
Elegant Depression Glass Green Uranium Green Twisted Optic Covered Jar
Elegant Depression glass covered jar made in the Art Deco era. Premium glass, not the usual Depression glass. Produces a crystal ring-tone when plinked.
This lovely uranium glass powder jar was made by the Imperial Glass Co. in 1927-1930. The pattern was called Twisted Optic.
The light green color was achieved by adding Uranium instead of lead to the glass batch. Elegant Depression glass often contained Uranium instead of lead. Uranium glass lights up under black-light (see image 3). The Uranium is not dangerous to your health unless you grind up the glass and eat it.
Hand blown into a spiral optic mold and finished by hand. Rims, and seat ring are polished smooth. No mold lines.
Can be used as a vanity puff box, candy box, stash or trinket box. Large squat bowl measures 6″ wide. Stands 5″ tall. In perfect condition, beautiful and sparkling clean.[color-box]More About Imperial Glass[/color-box]
