I also have a comment but it probably got dropped because I didn't know the rules. This bowl which was my grandmothers who more then likely brought it with when they (grandparents) moved here from Ohio 1945-1950. It has a crack though it & when i shine a black light in it the crack glows green. It was made @ the Indiana Glass company which I think is in Ohio. Does it have uranium in it is the question?
Indiana Glass was located in Dunkirk, Indiana. They were acquired by Lancaster Colony in the 1960s , which is located in Ohio. I'm not aware of this bowl being made in custard glass which contains uranium and does glow under black light. The glow you're seeing could be from chemicals that have become trapped in the crack, or possibly a repair.
