Vintage Anchor Hocking Optic Swirl Green Depression Vaseline Uranium Plate 8"

Description: Up for purchase is a green Depression luncheon plate in the Spiral pattern produced by Anchor Hocking from 1928-1930. It measures 8” in diameter and is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks and little, if any, signs of use. Uranium glass contains from about 0.25% to 2% uranium as a color pigment. A popular brand of uranium glass is Vaseline glass. So named because in ordinary light it has approximately the color of Vaseline. Under black light it fluoresces bright green. It is slightly radioactive but is completely safe. These plate can glow more brightly but my UV flashlight is not good.They came from a local estate sale.In buying vintage, you will find minor scratches, scuffs, different colored, patina or other 'evidence' of the items previous use. The Depression Glass typically has a bubbles, paints and other fabric defects - they is not damages, they are features. Pay attention: I believe this piece to have been made by Anchor Hocking due to the design, however, please note there is no makers mark or stamp See pictures for full description and condition details, please look carefully at the pictures, they are part of my description.

I AM ALWAYS WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING COSTS ON MULTIPLE PURCHASES I will refund your shipping discount after sending. The vast majority of my packing and shipping materials, including bubble wrap, air pillows, brown and white packing paper, tissue paper, plastic bags, all sorts of styrofoam, preformed plastic, padded mailers, plastic mailers, envelopes, boxes, sticker labels, etc....have been previously used and recycled again. I do this to give these items, which most people seemingly think of as instantly disposable, an additional life and purpose. I have teamed up with a few local businesses, friends and family (as of us have like recycling mindsets) with the hope to keep many of these products out of landfills for as long as possible. Your shipping package may not be the most visually pleasing, but it will be well packed, personally, by me, without adding new items to our already overcrowded landfills. Thank you for looking!
