Rare Jadeite Uranium Glass Mixing Bowl
This rare Jadeite Uranium glass mixing bowl is a relic from a bygone era. Most pieces being made from the 1920's to 1940's, peaking in the 1930's. This beautiful green colour was produced by adding a small amount of uranium.
A little about Uranium glass......
Production came to a halt during World War II because all Uranium was needed by the USA government for the Manhattan Project. Such a wild lesson in history!
The amount isn't big enough to be harmful, in fact in 2001, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission published a report stating that Uranium glass is considered safer than most household electronics :)!
Also glass mixing bowls of all colours ceased in the 1940's because of the mass production of plastic being introduced.
There is some wear on the inside of the bowl as pictured.
All items are in vintage and antique preloved condition. Some minor surface scratches may be present. I do my best to note and photograph any wear. Please contact me with any further questions :)
