How do I identify uranium glass?

Uranium glass typically exhibits a bright, transparent yellow-green colour under normal light. When exposed to ultraviolet light, it glows with a vivid green fluorescence due to the uranium content added during manufacturing. These pieces were commonly produced during the Victorian and Edwardian periods for decorative table items such as epergnes and vases. Handling them poses no significant risk, but collectors often use UV torches to confirm authenticity.

What defines Art Nouveau vases?

Art Nouveau vases feature asymmetrical organic lines, floral motifs, and flowing shapes inspired by natural forms. Makers embraced sinuous curves that broke away from rigid historical revivals. In green glass and ceramics, this style often manifests as iridescent surfaces and stylized plant designs. These pieces date predominantly from the turn of the twentieth century.

What is confit pot usage?

Confit pots were originally utilitarian French earthenware vessels used for storing preserved meats and fats. Their partially glazed terracotta bodies kept contents cool in domestic pantries. Today, collectors appreciate their rustic forms and earthy green glazes as decorative interior objects. They sit well in traditional or provincial settings as standalone display pieces.
