Uranium Depression Glass Candle Stick Holders by Fostoria Glass, USA
Set of Uranium Depression glass candlestick holders in perfect condition. Circa 1930’s.
Very usable, and fun to use under black-light conditions. These antique candle holders glow under black-light because the color recipe contains Uranium. Uranium was used as a replacement for more expensive lead during hard times. It produced a nice green color, which was the objective.
These candlestick holders are not dangerous to your health! The Uranium is forever trapped inside the glass and does not leach out. Best not to eat them, but do not worry about the Uranium.
Measure 4½” wide, 2″ Tall. Stands on 3 little feet. The candle bowl is folded up, providing for complete collection of the candle drippings…won’t drip onto the surface upon which it sits.
