Vintage uranium glass dish in a metal basket

This is a vintage uranium glass dish in a metal basket. The dish is collectible glassware that contains a small amount of uranium oxide, which causes it to glow a vibrant fluorescent green under ultraviolet light. Composition: The glass typically contains between trace levels and 2% uranium by weight. Safety: Despite being slightly radioactive, it is considered safe for everyday handling and display, with radiation levels generally lower than many common household electronics. History: Popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, large-scale production ceased in the 1940s when uranium was restricted for military use during the Cold War. Identification: It is also known as "Vaseline glass" due to its translucent yellow-green color in natural light and requires a UV black light to confirm its fluorescence.
