Hazel Atlas Green Uranium Ribbed Tumbler Drinking Glasses Set of 6

Uranium glass, recognized for its characteristic yellow or greenish glow under UV light, incorporates minute amounts of uranium into its composition. The use of uranium as a coloring agent for glass has a history dating back to the early 19th century, with a significant breakthrough in the 1830s when British glassmaker Apsley Pellatt unveiled the unique fluorescence of uranium glass under UV light. This surge in interest led to its popularity as a decorative material, and these set of 6 Hazel Atlas green uranium glass drinking glasses date back to the 1930s.
