How do I identify uranium glass?

Uranium glass contains mineral oxides that react strongly to ultraviolet light by emitting a vibrant green glow. This property serves as a reliable indicator for collectors examining 19th century pieces. Under natural light, the glass typically exhibits a transparent yellow-green or Vaseline tint. The glow confirms the presence of the uranium content used by period glasshouses.

What is an epergne used for?

An epergne functions as an elaborate table centrepiece designed to hold fruit, sweetmeats or floral displays across its multiple trumpets and bowls. Victorian dining rooms utilised these centrepieces to add height and colour to formal tables. Many surviving examples feature green or Vaseline glass branches supported by a central dish. They served both a decorative and a practical hosting purpose during grand meals.

How should I clean antique green glass?

Wash antique green glass gently in warm water using a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid soaking pieces with painted enamel, gold leaf or mounted metal collars to prevent damaging the historic surfaces. Dry the glass immediately with a soft lint-free cloth to avoid water spots. Harsh chemicals and modern dishwashers must be avoided entirely.

Were all green wine glasses made in Bristol?

The term Bristol glass is often applied generally to 19th century coloured tableware, though production occurred across England and the continent. Bohemia and France also manufactured substantial quantities of green wine glasses and decanters during the same period. Provenance depends on specific manufacturing traits, weight and form rather than a single geographic origin. Examining the pontil mark and metal composition helps clarify where a piece was made.
