{"product_id":"uranium-bowl","title":"Crown Crystal Australia Oval Serving Bowl, Uranium Glass, Art Deco, c.1930s–40s, Made in Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnder natural light it sits quietly on a shelf, a deep saturated green with fluted side panels, a scalloped rim, and a starburst base that catches the light from every angle. Under UV blacklight, it ignites. Uranium glass — pressed with trace amounts of uranium oxide during production — fluoresces a vivid neon green that is genuinely arresting, and this Crown Crystal oval serving bowl is one of the better examples of it: the mould is crisp, the glass is clear with no sickness or clouding, and the starburst base is exactly as it left the factory in Sydney sometime in the 1930s or 40s. At 21cm long and 13cm wide it is the right size for a fruit bowl, a bread roll display, or a small salad — or simply placed on an open shelf with a UV strip behind it and left to do what uranium glass does best. Pieces like this are becoming genuinely hard to find in good condition, and Crown Crystal uranium glass examples rarer still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Crown Crystal Glass Co.
