I’ve only started collecting about a month ago but I’ve been so incredibly lucky since last week! I bought six pieces at a cute antique store a week ago in the town next to us for a VERY good price (the seller knew it was UG so I didn’t totally feel like I found it in the wild) and today I found 3 plates in the town I live in inside a second hand shop. 50 cents a piece!! Pretty sure they didn’t know this was UG as it was on a table with brightly colored (mostly plastic) kitchenware so this really felt like finding it in the wild. I’m so happy!

Side note - can anyone tell me if this bottle is uranium glaze, or uranium milk glass? And is the stamp on the bottom just outta whack, or do they normally look that way?

Thanks in advance! New family photo at the end :)

My second large compote from LG Wright(1970s) came today, and I figured I would share in case you haven't seen dark uranium glass. This color was only officially made by Viking on paper. The compotes are 10.5" tall, and weigh about 8lbs each. The 365nm glow is quenched by some additive (iron?). They glow best in 395nm and read about 60cpm on a GMC-800.

3 sitzendorfs and 1 grafenthal. All have uranium glaze. Trying to recapture our lost bulldog. I think i did pretty good, especially the little scratching sitzendorf for 6.50, just missing the fly.

After several months of not finding anything thrifting, and a couple of blind buy busts, I finally broke the dry spell!!

Found these 4 beautiful UG stem cordial glasses yesterday at my local thrift. It’s been so dry I wasn’t even prepared and only had my 365 on me. I confirmed with my 395 once I got home. They were literally a steal at less than $4 for the set of 4.

Upon researching, I believe they are Wesson depression era glass with a beautiful etching on them.

So happy to slowly be growing my modest collection. 💚💚💚

I’ve been exceedingly lucky this week. I don’t know if they are all my style but they sure do look great. 3 cadmium bowls. 3 martini style glasses. 1 platter and 1 super glowy semi glow in the dark retro clock. Oh and also 6 cabinet drawer pulls stored in the bowls!

My baby

Was second hand shopping and came across this in with a bunch of random bowls for 3.50.

Feels chunky, lights up under 395, and I love it. Wife is not happy I may have a new collecting obsession though ...

What a wonderful day.

while I was strolling around a garage sale I spotted these. the listing isn't mine just another view. I got 6 of them for 12 dollars. was it a waste or worth my money?

I am not asking what its worth btw

So my home room teacher was the one to first engage with my love/ obsession over radio activity and the science of it so I god her a jar to ad to her “ radio activity box” I think she’ll love it <3

But when I saw BCV had these globes available and were not going to have any more ever due to production issues, I knew I had to have one.

It's meant to sit upside down on the opening but adding an LE Smith Moon and Stars compote made it into an epic vase. Or leech bowl if I ever decide to get leeches.

….the best bat I’ve ever made. 🤭 I may have peaked as an artist. 🤣

I think I am doing her justice.

Uranium on the right, mix of cadmium and 365nm in the middle, and regular flavor on the left. Eventually I would like to do one of them all cadmium but finding 2000 cadmium marbles seems like a lofty goal.

Normal + 365 +395 of course

Found that a little while ago tho

Definitely had some good finds since i’ve started collecting
