Collecting UV glass :)

[theglowies]

An intro

I recently started hyperfixating on UV reactive glass after finding a couple of Noritake pieces at a local store. I figured a blog would be a good way to categorize my thoughts, dream pieces, and finds!

I’m a mid-twenties lesbian and use he/they/it pronouns :) Call me Voss

I’m most interested in UG(+it’s variants) and manganese glass, but lead, cadmium, and selenium are also fair game! I’m also interest in radioactive items- Radium clocks, fiesta ware, etc. May post about them if I come across them :3

This is just me having fun and documenting myself having a poke around :)

A cute little Ingraham travel alarm clock! Relatively low reading compared to my other travel clock. This one peaked out at around 900cpm, very cute

A this guy!!!

Idk who he is. Beautiful tho. No count right now, bc I’m outta state and don’t have my Geiger

[theglowies]

Local favorite place has a set of like a bazillion uranium goblets. For cheap (at least for how many there are.)

Clenching. Fist.

[theglowies]

Also these! Some nice uranium glass :3 my first actual pieces of it, since the leftover dish and bowls were glazed

[theglowies]

Woo!

Cool Phinney Walker travel alarm :3 it’s radium ofc, I was getting a reading of about 1000 cpm off of him!

Living in a plastic baggy until I can find an acrylic or glass display box for it

[theglowies]

OH YEAH WOO YEAH

[theglowies]

also just. The betrayal of non radioactive fiestaware. Ough.

[theglowies]

Also when I got the stuff from my last post, there was a radium clock/radio combo that I passed up and I am, in fact, still thinking about it

And more from today! For 8$ a piece! My fiancée spotted these in a new (to us) flea market! They were in among some regular ceramics and glassware! Autumn leaf Hall’s are so pretty to me <3

The store also had a dedicated UG case! I’ll get pics of it next time we visit :3

Really Cool find from my favorite local spot! A Hall’s crocus pattern leftover dish! :) Currently the hottest thing I own, peaking right around 200 CPM

AND. i got it half off from the original price :)

(Camera flash, flash+395 UV, and just UV)

Looks like they’re thorium with trace amounts of either uranium or manganese!! I’ll be getting my Geiger counter in Wednesday, so I’ll test them then!

[theglowies]

Delightful update: these guys register at nearly double the background radiation levels here :3

SHES HERE

Geiger counter today….

[theglowies]

Local flea markets and thrift stores my beloved <333

[theglowies]

The pieces that started it all, btw! My pair of noritake pink swirl glasses!

They’re a lovely pink color in natural light :) I’ll have to get a pic of them like that soon
