      Does it glow under a UV light?
    2. Vintage_Joe Vintage_Joe, 10 years ago
      Thanks rose and no, this is not uranium glass.

      Sure looks like it could Glow.

      On Wayne's Page, it shows some glowing ( Kasperi candlesticks by Erkkitapio Siiroinen, 1966) so I was just wondering if yours did. See link below, scroll down it :

      Well, i don't tested it with UV light. But never heard that Riihimäki made uranium glass, consciously.
      But, never say never :)

      They did produce it , JOE !!! I have one of the uranium Kasperi candlesticks. Rose is probably right about this one too ! It's GREAT !!!

      I did some reserch and notice there is possibility that this yellow color cointains radium sulfate or uranium salt. I found also info that using of self luminous colors stopped 1963 in finland.
      I have to sell this quickly :)

      Thanks vetraio, manikin.....????

      Wow.....I am right on something....Yipee!! Thanks so much VET for confirmation on your Post # 5.

      I used My own helpful Hint. When I first saw this post, I noticed in the photo (by the lower part of the handle) it looked to have a bit of *glow* under regular camera flash. So I asked you if it glowed?

      In my helpful hint post a while ago -- regular flash MAY show some UV Glow

      http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/152723-other-uses-for-a-uv-light-in-the-collect

      Pointed out there in post # 14 and with a related link:

      """" ....BUT you could try taking a pic with your camera flash on -- as SOMETIMES -- you can see a bit of glow via your *Flash* on you Camera. Not s sure sign, but at least something to try...."""

      http://www.vaselineglass.org/webbtallbl1.jpg

      So with a Flash you can sometimes see a bit of Glow -- then after that I googled it, and found Wayne's info on this Glass Glowing to share with you

      MORAL OF THE STORY:
      Lol....Just saying my own Post on " Uranium Helpful Hints".... Helped me to be able to Help You!! There was some Glow there in your pic using a regular Flash you posted here.
