Art Deco Uranium Glass Liqueur Set with Carafe, 5 Glasses and Tray – Bohemia/Western Europe, circa 1920-1930 Rare and complete 7-piece Art Deco liqueur set consisting of a glass pour spout carafe with original stopper, 5 accompanying liqueur glasses, and a matching diamond-shaped/round glass tray. Style & Dating: Art Deco, circa 1920–1930. Attributed to the Bohemian glass tradition (such as Karl Palda / Moser) or a prominent Western European glass factory (such as Scailmont or Val Saint Lambert). Material & Special Features (Uranium Glass / Annagreen): The ensemble is executed in beautiful light-green uranium glass (also known as annagreen glass) in combination with deep black/dark purple contrast glass for the carafe handle, the stopper, the stems of the glasses, and the tray. Under an ultraviolet light source (UV/blacklight) the green glass glows spectacularly bright green (see photos). What is Uranium Glass and why was it used? Uranium glass is glass to which a small percentage of uranium oxide (usually between 0.1% and 2%) has been added during the melting process as a pigment. Why was this chosen? Before the advent of modern synthetic pigments, uranium oxide was the method by which glassmakers could create a unique, translucent yellow-green to apple-green shade. This glass was known from 1840 to around 1940 (peaking during Art Deco in the 1920s and 30s) as very stylish, luxurious, and innovative. The magical effect: In addition to the characteristic color, glassblowers discovered that adding uranium made the glass fluoresce strongly under UV light. Although radioactivity was only fully understood later, the uranium in the glass is firmly enclosed and completely safe for decorative collecting. Since the 1940s, worldwide production has largely ceased due to strict uranium restrictions, making these vintage pieces beloved collectibles. Dimensions: Carafe (incl. stopper): Height 26.5 cm | Diameter 10 cm Liqueur glasses (5x): Height 8.5 cm | Glass bowl diameter 5 cm Tray: Height 2 cm | Diameter 23 cm Condition: The set is in beautiful and authentic vintage condition with age-related signs: Carafe: The pouring spout has noticeable rim damage/chips (see detailed photos). It is common for some damage or rim chipping to have occurred long ago and be re-smoothed/flamed in the past to remove sharp edges. Glasses & Tray: The glasses and the tray are in good condition with light surface scratches and minimal signs of use consistent with age. One glass has a very small chip. Please examine the extensive photo report carefully; it forms an integral part of the condition description. Shipping: The lot will be packed with the utmost care, double-boxed, sent by registered mail and insured with Track & Trace. ps: The interior photo was created with AI to set a mood
