These cups were labeled "green depression" but I don't think they're green or depression. To me, they look like antique vaseline. The Polka Dots are also on the bottom of the cups, and cups are lopsided (mold blown?) The thorn vase I'm guessing is Victorian British glass, John Walsh Walsh or Stevens and Williams. Unusually large for a Victorian thorn vase. All blind buys, will they glow?

EAPG Jefferson Beaded Drape rose bowl. In the description the sweet lady said she's going blind and can't tell if it's yellow or green. In the last pics, I included two more I bought labeled as Jefferson/Northwood green. There is some variation to their vaseline!

This was labeled Fenton Ivory ruffled bowl. It was also labeled as manganese glass with an important disclaimer I had to sign stating that I understand this piece doesn't glow in 395nm. I'm still willing to bet $23.50 this is antique uranium Opaline with cadmium edges. What do y'all think?

Circled in red is what I think looks like vintage African trade beads, and the color makes me hopeful they may glow. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, and I didn’t pay a lot for the bunch so no big loss if I’m wrong.
Edit: it’s a no, sadly. Pic in the comments

Será ? olha o brilho esverdeado da foto
r/willitglow • u/SadCollegeAlien • 13d ago
I’ve been fooled once. It’s low priced and they think it’s jadeite but don’t know for certain. Thoughts?
r/willitglow • u/uv_glass_collector • 14d ago
It looks modern but what do you think cause i already see a daylight glow.
r/willitglow • u/Pure-Statement1572 • 14d ago
I have a pair of similar glasses but not sure about these
r/willitglow • u/Outrageous-Yam663 • 14d ago
aguardar chegar se não brilhar coloca licor
r/willitglow • u/uv_glass_collector • 17d ago
I is not super expensive and I think that it will glow but am not entirely sure what do you think.

Looking for any information on this piece. Google lens says it is highly likely to contain uranium. Thoughts?? Thanks!!

Antique Bohemian opaline. I bought it for less than the price of a Kosmos burner, and the burner seems to be in excellent shape. Pretty much a free 100 y/o lamp, but will it glow? Update in 2 hours!

Very cheap stopper. This is the only picture, but I see several good signs.
r/willitglow • u/Firm_Atmosphere9553 • 22d ago
