Spotted these at a local antique shop for $12 and couldn’t pass up that price. I’m thinking the stems might just glow. Of course, today was the day my blacklight died, so I wasn’t able to verify in the store. I’ll update once it finishes charging!

Hey guys! My grandma gave this to my mom as a kitchen decoration. Yesterday, we were having dinner and my brother mentioned that it could be uranium glass, which could be potentially radioactive at constant exposure. Mum took it as a joke but now, my brother and I are genuinely wondering if it could really be UG. We don't have any UV lights so we don't really know how to prove it lol, I did a Google lens quick search and saw similar products on Etsy being sold as uranium glass, which only made me more curious, especially 'cuz they had the same vintage style as this one.
I guess it's worth the try to ask here and wait for a response! Thanks :•)
PS: sorry for the wonky English, it's not my first language. also, sorry for the blurry photos, I have a very very bad pulse. thanks again!

On fb marketplace for $50 CAD, non working (well doesn’t have its key so it may work if it had that). Worth checking out? I’ve seen others from the same company with the same style of face glow, just can’t find any pictures with this exact clock doing so, so I wanted other opinions before driving out to look at it. Especially since other than the missing key it looks in really good shape. Thanks!
Mantel* whoops on the typo
Update she glows!

$18 on the basket and $38 for the apple. I've got a good feeling about both, and wouldn't be sad if they don't.

I love the flower and the little matching earrings. I’m hoping they may actually be uranium so I have an even bigger excuse to my husband for getting them 😂 I think they are from the 50s or 60s.

It looks like it is glowing in de flash of the phone but I don't know. I think it is from Russia but I don't know how old, what do you think.
The last photo is from another website with exactly the same patternwith exactly the same proportions but with better lighting.

Will it glow? 🤔 It’s not super cheap so I’d to risk it and be wrong 😂
r/willitglow • u/ButteryRaven • 7d ago
PLEASEEE tell me it glows!
r/willitglow • u/Cy-Clops- • 7d ago
Blind buy, but uranium was in the title just no glow pics. She's out for delivery today so we'll know soon. What do y'all think?
r/willitglow • u/Free_Leading6098 • 7d ago
Hi all, do we think they glow or not ? I’m pretty positive they do but wanted to see your thoughts 🙏🏼
r/willitglow • u/Cy-Clops- • 9d ago
Bought some cheap plates. Can't win them all 😂. At least they were $5 each. These will probably end up in the kitchen. They're very heavy lol. I wonder what color these plates actually are?!

Lamp- It features a beautiful gold leaf flower design on an ivory porcelain base. Description from seller. $20
Green lamp- No description on this piece. Just says vintage for the most part. $30
Bell is a Fenton Hobnail piece. $15
Ruby red w/ milk glass. $24 for the pair!
Also found several Ruby Red bells for great price. I could but all pictured and a red bell for about $110. I mean it’s a great addition of color if all is what I hope for. Thoughts and input always welcome.
