Wilkerson Green Fish Uranium Glass Creamer Bowl
Wilkerson Green Fish Uranium Glass Creamer Bowl
Uranium glass, known for its distinctive yellow or greenish glow under UV light, contains minute amounts of uranium in its composition. The history of using uranium as a glass coloring agent dates back to the early 19th century, with a pivotal breakthrough in the 1830s when British glassmaker Apsley Pellatt revealed the unique fluorescence of uranium glass under UV light. This surge in interest resulted in its popularity as a decorative material. This green uranium glass fish creamer is a more recent creation produced by Wilkerson Glass Company.
