Vintage Uranium Glass Powder Jar Green Vanity Jar Starburst Base 1930s UV Glow

Beautiful vintage uranium glass powder jar in a vibrant translucent green, dating to the late 1920s–1930s. This elegant vanity piece features a sharp radiating starburst base, diamond-paneled sides, and a domed mushroom-style lid knob, typical of high-quality Depression-era vanity glass. 🔦 UV REACTIVE URANIUM GLASS This piece glows brightly under ultraviolet (black) light, confirming genuine uranium glass — a highly desirable feature for collectors. While often attributed to American makers such as Westmoreland or Anchor Hocking, no factory mark is present. Based on mold quality, clarity, and form, this example is most consistent with Bohemian (Czechoslovakian) export vanity glass, widely sold in the U.S. during the Depression era. Measurements Diameter: 5 inches Height (with lid): 4 inches Condition Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or repairs Lid fits properly Clean, bright glass with no clouding This piece presents beautifully and appears well cared for. Details Type: Powder / Vanity Jar Material: Uranium (Vaseline) Glass Color: Green Era: c. 1930s Markings: Unmarked UV Reaction: Strong glow under black light Collector Notes Uranium glass contains a small amount of uranium oxide, which causes it to fluoresce under UV light. It was commonly produced for decorative and vanity items from the late 1800s through the 1930s.
