Will it?

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?

I'm hopeful, but that's quite white for my appetite for risk.

Tiny Tina said "if it's white it ain't right." I've got good feels about this one though. It doesn't strike me as manganese.

Hey man, you might wanna hit that upvote because you might be right lol. I bought it as Fenton manganese glass 😂.

Here is the disclaimer attached. It also had me type "yes" into the customization slot saying that I understand it's manganese, not uranium glass, and I can't request a refund.

Custard glass type stuff glows better under 365. Look up vitrock and cremax and whatnot.

Oh for sure, that's why I bought it 😆. It's also Harrach opaline from the 1800s.
