This is a stunning example of late 19th-century Victorian art glass, characteristic of the fine pieces produced by renowned makers such as Mt. Washington or Thomas Webb & Sons. This delicate rose bowl showcases the classic Burmese glass aesthetic, featuring a beautiful soft pink satin exterior that seamlessly transitions into a subtle pale tone. Because the original glass recipe utilized uranium oxide, this piece is highly reactive under a blacklight, glowing a brilliant neon green. The spherical body is expertly decorated with raised, hand-painted enamel blossoms, leaves, and buds, complete with subtle gilt accents. The gracefully crimped, ruffled rim adds a final touch of elegance to this exquisite cabinet piece. A highly desirable find for collectors of Victorian art glass, Burmese glass, and glowing uranium glass alike.
