Does it glow under a UV light?
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

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...."""

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.
Thanks rose again for sharing all this????
