Thought the uranium glass lovers might enjoy this one. This is the only bright 'glowing' cake stand in my collection. Many old salver do have some green glow under black light however.
The last image added compares this apple green with a canary yellow (Vaseline glass). The Vaseline to the left is quite a bit brighter than the apple green. Camera setting 2.5 sec./200 ISO/11 F
