{"product_id":"frosted-uranium-vase","title":"Crown Crystal Australia Frosted Uranium Glass Flared Vase, Art Deco, c.1930s, Made in Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnder natural light it has the quiet, milky depth of sea glass — a cool satin green that absorbs and diffuses light rather than transmitting it. Under UV blacklight, it transforms completely: the uranium dioxide in the glass ignites into a vivid, electric green fluorescence that is genuinely arresting. This is a large, heavy piece — 820 grams, 16cm tall, with a wide 15.5cm flared rim — and it has the substantial, confident presence of Crown Crystal’s best 1930s output. The frosted finish was achieved through acid etching or sandblasting after pressing, giving the surface a soft, tactile quality that sets it apart from clear uranium glass. The flared petal rim fans out generously, making it as effective as a posy vase as it is as a standalone display piece. Crown Crystal Glass Co. of Sydney produced frosted uranium vases in this form throughout the 1930s for the Australian domestic market — pieces that were everyday objects then, and genuinely collectible now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: there is an internal hairline fracture on the underside of the rim on one side — stable, does not pierce through to the face, and not visible from the front during display.

Surface scratching to one area of the rim and minor flea bites along the upper rim edge — consistent with age and use. Internal hairline fracture on the underside of the rim on one side: stable, does not pierce through to the interior face. Prominent mould seam lines are a manufacturing characteristic of the era, not damage.
