Antique UV Reactive "Glow Glass" Powder Jar - Art Nouveau Jeweled Brass Lid - Victorian Cut Glass Dresser Box - Manganese/Uranium Reactive
A luminous treasure for your vanity.
This antique Art Nouveau powder jar is a rare find that transitions from elegant daylight decor to a vibrant "glow" under UV light. The heavy, brilliant-cut glass base features deep faceted starburst patterns that catch the light beautifully.
The "Glow" Factor:
Sold as "glow glass," this piece is UV reactive, indicating the presence of minerals like manganese or uranium in the glass formula common in the early 20th century. Under a 365nm blacklight, the glass comes alive with a characteristic neon glow, making it a must-have for specialized glass collectors.
The Lid:
The original brass lid features ornate floral repoussé scrollwork, centered by a rich purple glass jewel cabochon. The underside shows an authentic aged patina, confirming its early 1900s provenance.
Condition: Excellent antique condition. No major chips or cracks to the glass; lid fits securely.
Perfect For:
Glow glass collector showpiece
Storing loose face powder or cotton rounds.
A bedside trinket dish for rings and fine jewelry.
An elegant "something old" gift for a vintage-loving bride.
