Description

Collectors are attracted to manganese and uranium glass due to their distinct characteristics and historical importance. This specific collection comprises two pieces: an art glass paperweight shaped like a strawberry and an adorable art glass basket. Both exhibit a fluorescence under UV light, signifying the presence of manganese - check the photograph taken in UV light at 365nm wavelength. Very tactile, a delight to hold them in your hands. Additional information regarding the contents of this listing is provided below.

Item #1: Vintage Art Glass Strawberry Paperweight

When one envisions strawberries, the typical association is with the color red. However, this vintage glass paperweight exhibits a stunning pale green hue under regular light. Furthermore, it fluoresces under 365 nm light, indicating the presence of manganese. Manganese dioxide is commonly employed to alter the color of glass. In this instance, it may have been used to achieve a less vibrant green shade than initially intended for the strawberry glass paperweight.

Appealing to both vintage glass collectors seeking art glass and enthusiasts of glass paperweights, this item boasts elusive origins, yet features impeccable craftsmanship and high-quality glass. With no comparable items found in the marketplace, seize the opportunity to acquire it today.

Dimensions (approx.) & Condition: 3.5 inches tall and a bit longer than 3 inches in diameter. 400 grams in weight. Excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or scratches.
 

Item #2: Vintage Art Glass Basket

The next item on the list is a charming piece that blends nostalgia and artistic style seamlessly – a petite, attractive glass basket. Its color closely matches the strawberry paperweight under regular light, which is why we decided to pair these two decorative pieces. They make a great combination for those who appreciate unique and collectible items.

Dimensions (approx.) & Condition: 4 inches tall and a bit longer than 4 inches in diameter. Excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or scratches.

An opportunity to begin building your vintage manganese glass collection or simply expand upon an existing one.
