I would love to see pics of the uranium glass under white light.
Thanks for the loves everyone.
Hedgewalker, I will post a picture of the first group, but don't have one of the other group. Most of these were sold. They weren't really my thing, except for the large Fenton Topaz triangle (next to fan vase)vase and the Kralik Flame vase. I can't keep everything though. At least not yet :).
I had to take a few pictures of them before and figured I would throw them on here. Will post up some pics of my potential keepers when I get them all together.
The first two pics resemble under water photos of sea creatures in motion. The creator of this collection had a great mind. Love the carnival too. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome aqua, glad you like them. Thanks for the love.
Also called uranium glass.
Do you have geiger meter for your safty? ;)
