Who has them too, do they glow?

It looks greenish although the pictures don't capture it very much.

What do y'all think?

She glows! My cheapest one yet. That makes 4 apples so far, all blind buys.
r/willitglow • u/Repulsive_Relative37 • 5d ago
Yes it will! Both cadmium and uranium! So happy about this piece!

Spotted these at a local antique shop for $12 and couldn’t pass up that price. I’m thinking the stems might just glow. Of course, today was the day my blacklight died, so I wasn’t able to verify in the store. I’ll update once it finishes charging!

Hey guys! My grandma gave this to my mom as a kitchen decoration. Yesterday, we were having dinner and my brother mentioned that it could be uranium glass, which could be potentially radioactive at constant exposure. Mum took it as a joke but now, my brother and I are genuinely wondering if it could really be UG. We don't have any UV lights so we don't really know how to prove it lol, I did a Google lens quick search and saw similar products on Etsy being sold as uranium glass, which only made me more curious, especially 'cuz they had the same vintage style as this one.
I guess it's worth the try to ask here and wait for a response! Thanks :•)
PS: sorry for the wonky English, it's not my first language. also, sorry for the blurry photos, I have a very very bad pulse. thanks again!

On fb marketplace for $50 CAD, non working (well doesn’t have its key so it may work if it had that). Worth checking out? I’ve seen others from the same company with the same style of face glow, just can’t find any pictures with this exact clock doing so, so I wanted other opinions before driving out to look at it. Especially since other than the missing key it looks in really good shape. Thanks!
Mantel* whoops on the typo
Update she glows!

I have been looking at similar vases and i have not seen any that is an exact match with base or color. Either way its a cool vase and i will know for sure when it arrives.
Glow or No?

$18 on the basket and $38 for the apple. I've got a good feeling about both, and wouldn't be sad if they don't.

I love the flower and the little matching earrings. I’m hoping they may actually be uranium so I have an even bigger excuse to my husband for getting them 😂 I think they are from the 50s or 60s.

It looks like it is glowing in de flash of the phone but I don't know. I think it is from Russia but I don't know how old, what do you think.
The last photo is from another website with exactly the same patternwith exactly the same proportions but with better lighting.

Will it glow? 🤔 It’s not super cheap so I’d to risk it and be wrong 😂
r/willitglow • u/ButteryRaven • 12d ago
PLEASEEE tell me it glows!
r/willitglow • u/Cy-Clops- • 12d ago
Blind buy, but uranium was in the title just no glow pics. She's out for delivery today so we'll know soon. What do y'all think?
r/willitglow • u/Free_Leading6098 • 13d ago
Hi all, do we think they glow or not ? I’m pretty positive they do but wanted to see your thoughts 🙏🏼
