Different colors of uranium glass! Some cadmium and manganese for funsies! Weirdest antiques channel

The very first vase you showed that's completely solid white with yellow handles is Victorian Custard Glass, Stevens & Williams I believe on that one. 1880's definitely 🤙

[@besticanaffordantiques2565]

Ah, I was pretty certain it was Czech, but places like England and Boston seem to have made a fair bit of glass in similar styles. Every time I learn something I realize I have to learn something else. 😭 Hahaha

Just a heads up! Since you're using a 365 uv light, uranium glass will light up with it, however if you want to see the clear difference between a manganese and a uranium glow, use a 395 uv light. The uranium glass will glow like crazy. I do think a lot of what you are calling uranium glass is actually manganese.

[@besticanaffordantiques2565]

Did you watch the manganese part?

[@Johndoe22932]

Sick I got a cadmium vase and I have manganese, uranium, cobalt, and lead glass flowers in it and they all fluoresce with either greens, oranges, or purples

[@Johndoe22932]

[@markikker]

Will 395 also point out manganese? or will it only spot uranium?

[@Johndoe22932]

@@markikkeryeah so I know 365 will give you the most bang for your buck if you want to see a variety of glass, but if you’re solely looking for U glass I’d go with the 395 and it will pick up manganese faintly

[@tamarrajames3590]

Manganese has kind of the look of some shades of fluorite when hit with UV light. The blue/green fluorite under regular light has a kind of pale lead-like tone, but under UV, it does fluoresce…just not as boldly as uranium will. I love the cadmium, and some where they were tossing all kinds of mineral salts at the molten glass, and creating a wide range of colours on one piece. I need to learn more about these types of glass. Thanks for the intro. I missed what the lion had hold of…but it appeared that he lay down with the lamb …and ate him. Not quite how I recall hearing that story lol.🖤🇨🇦

you need 395nm to be sure. Lots of stuff (manganese glass for example) glows green under 365. But with 395 they have different colors or non at all.

[@francessimmonds5784]

Nice video. Thank you. I’ve collected uranium glass for a couple of years now and have a few different colours but not grey or clear, so still on the hunt for those. I don’t know if you know but the cut glass handled dish at the beginning of your video is British Davidson Pearline, sometimes called a nappy bowl. I have a query, if you or anyone in your comments know the answer to this..I’ve bought a purple piece of glass with a green uranium glass foot and concerned that the purple is due to it being irradiated in a microwave (I believe it turns the manganese in clear glass purple) what I wondered is if that was done would it have had an effect on the green uranium foot as well?

[@besticanaffordantiques2565]

The nappy at the beginning of this video is by Northwood Glass Company. Very rare pattern called Diadem. 🙂 I'd have to see the piece you're wondering about, but I think it's easily as likely that it was made in purple and green, and not later modified. If you add me as a friend on Facebook you can show it to me. I have the same name there. no spaces.

[@VintageSoul]

The sun can also turn clear glass with manganese in it to purple. But I agree with him that it was probably made purple.

[@KETODiamond]

Cool! I've never heard of Cadmium, but I have some (just didn't know what it was called lol). All my pieces glow under a regular black light though.

I got my two UV lights on Amazon! 365nm. They were 12.99 each with free shipping over $25, so I got two! Otherwise, you can get a generic blacklight flashlight (doesn't work very well on anything besides uranium glass) in Walmart sporting goods, or your favorite local hippy bong store, for like $5!

Two years later we still have boxes of glass from there. Not poking fun at all, but the fella had completely lost his mind. He kept every glass item in his home covered in baby powder so he would "know if the robots and little green men were touching his things while he was gone." A quote from the family. 😬
