{"product_id":"uranium-glass-juicer","title":"Crown Crystal Australia Citrus Juicer, Uranium Glass, Art Deco, c.1930s, Made in Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnder natural light it’s a beautiful deep green — the kind of saturated, slightly electric tone that stops you in a cabinet. Under UV blacklight, it glows. That’s uranium glass: a small amount of uranium oxide added to the molten glass during production, a technique used widely from the mid-nineteenth century through to the 1940s, and the reason pieces like this have become genuinely sought after by two entirely different collecting communities — Depression glass enthusiasts and UV display collectors. This citrus juicer is Crown Crystal Glass Co., Sydney, c.1930s, and it is the real thing. The reamer cone, integrated pour spout, and handle tab are all intact; the mould is crisp; the glass has no sickness or clouding. At 12cm bowl diameter and 15cm across at the widest point, it’s a proper kitchen piece — functional when it was made, and now the kind of object that earns its place on an open shelf or in a display cabinet lit with a UV strip. A considered addition to a collection of Australian Depression glass, or a standalone conversation piece for anyone who appreciates the intersection of utility and beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrown Crystal was Australia’s primary pressed glass manufacturer through the Depression era, producing pieces for the domestic market that are increasingly difficult to find in good condition. Uranium glass examples are rarer still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Crown Crystal Glass Co.

No cracks, hairline fractures, or glass sickness. Minor superficial nibble to the apex tip of the reamer cone — a very common point of wear from stacking in kitchen cupboards, does not affect function or display. Single small flea bite to the base rim, barely detectable to the naked eye. The glass retains its full colour, clarity, and UV fluorescence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash in warm water with a soft cloth.
