Monthly Theme 💚 Monthly Theme – August: Small But Mighty
Welcome to this month's theme in r/uraniumglass!
This month's theme: Small But Mighty
Not every great uranium glass piece is a showstopper in size. This month, we're celebrating the small pieces that make a big impact in our collections.
Do you have a tiny piece that you absolutely love?
Maybe it's a salt dip, toothpick holder, shaker, miniature vase, individual creamer, figurine, a piece of jewelry, or another piece that doesn't take up much space but stands out for its beauty, rarity, glow, or sentimental value.
The monthly theme is optional and does not replace regular posting.
To participate, simply create a new post and use the Monthly Theme 💚 flair.
When possible, include both non-glow and glow photos.
Suggested Titles
Small But Mighty...
Tiny but Terrific...
Big Glow, Small Package...
One of My Smallest Favorites...
A Little Piece with a Big Presence...
Etc.
Whether you own five pieces or five hundred, chances are there's a small item in your collection that punches well above its weight.
Let's see it! 💚

Weekly “Will It Glow” Megathread
Welcome to this week’s “Will It Glow” megathread! This is the dedicated space for all glow ID questions, mystery pieces, and “does this contain uranium?” posts. You’re also welcome to share and ask questions over at r/willitglow.
To post your item, add your photos as a comment below. Include any details you know —such as markings, color, etc.— and the community will help identify materials, explain glow behavior, and point out useful details.
Once confirmed, feel free to share your item —with both glow and non-glow photos— in the broader glass subreddits like r/uraniumglass, r/vaselineglass, r/manganeseglass, r/cadmiumglass, r/seleniumglass, and r/neodymiumglass.

found in a small town in the Netherlands
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!

New find ! 1 uranium glass 1 glaze and 1 cadmium

Look What I Found! Seller used some epic old packaging to ship my 1939 World's Fair bottle!
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 :)

Dark green UG
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.

Slightly obsessed
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.

Seeking Info Second find, stolzle?
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 ...

Thirft Haul Finally broke my dry spell!
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. 💚💚💚

Vaseline Glass Newest blind buy. Eek!! 💚
r/uraniumglass • u/Jesus_Aech_Christ • 1d ago
Vaseline Glass I don't buy all that much for myself these days
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.

Look What I Found! My new gumball marble machine
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.
r/uraniumglass • u/Anathess • 1d ago
Look What I Found! That would be black UG, right ?
Normal + 365 +395 of course
Found that a little while ago tho
