I already had the uranium kanawha moon and stars this weekend I saw the cadmium and had to have it!!
May be an unpopular opinion but I find the cadmium in this piece nicer then the uranium.

Hello! Is this Cadmium? It's a much brighter glow that I am used to

Found these two in the same thrift that I found a random UG cup. Same situation, saw a bit of it in a photo of something else on their FB page and went to look with zero expectations. Sorry for the crap quality of the pic. Votive cup was $.50 and the bracelet (glass and plastic beads) for $1.

Should I make this purchase?

Hi all. On Facebook marketplace local to me someone is selling a big Mosser dandelion hen on nest with a really nice yellow/orange glow, as well as a light green uranium, and selenium light blue/teal micro hens on nest. $200 for the lot. I don’t usually collect these hens, are they very desirable? Is this a good price? I’m new to collecting glowy glass so I’m super unsure. The big hen would make an EGGcelent centerpiece. I would love to add them all to my collection but I am scared of wasting money, though I feel like this is probably a great deal. πŸ˜‚ I also have the option to get a almost identical light blue micro hen on nest instead of the light green, it glows a smidgen less intensely, but still fiercely. Not sure which color I should choose between the two. Should I go for twins?

You should’ve seen her face when I hit it with the 395.
$20 well spent. Cadmium base with selenium. The whole thing pops, now I need to add a couple 395’s to my 365’s

Sweet Piece of Blenko

Long time listner first time poster... Just wanted to share.

Got this at an estate sale for 20$ Not sure If I paid too much, but it was stunning. No chips or cracks, the ribs on the handle are very pronounced and it has a pontil mark on the bottom. Cross referencing the internet indicates it's a Blenko Glass. πŸ€”

As I am a uranium glass hunter I had my light with me and spotted it's nice glow. I have only two other pieces of Amberina. Having struck out on the UG front I grabbed it up so to not go home empty handed. πŸ’Έ

If anyone has more information on its production history, I would thank you kindly. πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“

My Collection I forgot I even had this. Hit it with the black light for fun and was amazed! Not at all what I expected. Definitely not uranium glass.

Extremely new to glowing glass, want to know more

So I recently purchased a 365nm UV lamp and started to look around my home for things that spark interest. So far found two items - a vintage shot glass and a vintage small glass monkey.

What do you think based on the picture - is that a glowing glass or is this a normal way UV light interacts with items that are a certain color (for example the monkey is yellow therefore it would seem orange etc). I just really want to get better at understanding what actually glows and what could give a false positive.

Two pictures added are items in normal light vs UV light in the dark.

So the first one, the basket I had a hunch it was cadmium but I wasn't sure as it was a event outside the antique store, it was hard to tell but I took the gamble and knew the guy so I made a deal I pulled the birthday card πŸ˜‚

I got a discount (og 40 but got it for 30) but at the expense of being sang to by strangers. The second the bottle, was actually the first one I found. I was walking by and literally snapped my neck for it, the guy was trying to get rid of his stock and literally made a deal for me to take it 🀣 my cousin got a blue Manganese, both for 10 bucks.

Safe to say made out like a bandit πŸ’€
