Description

This lot consists of a matching teacup and saucer set made from green uranium glass. The items were produced using the pressed glass technique and feature a distinct spiral ribbing pattern. This specific design is attributed to the Hocking Glass Company and was manufactured during the Depression era, circa 1928-1930. The glass is transparent light green in natural light and exhibits a bright neon green fluorescence when viewed under ultraviolet light, confirming the presence of uranium oxide in the glass composition. The teacup features a flared rim and a molded handle, and the saucer shares the same spiral motif radiating from the center. Both pieces have smooth, molded bases without pontil marks. No maker marks are present.

Dimensions not provided.


Condition report:

The set is in good vintage condition with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs. Minor internal air bubbles and faint surface straw marks, common in molded glass of this period, may be present.
