The Cambridge Mosser Inverted Strawberry Canary Yellow Vaseline Uranium Glass Folded Card Tray is a vintage piece crafted in Ohio. It is likely an original Cambridge pattern glass mold that was bought and reproduced by Mosser. This unique card tray features an inverted strawberry pattern in a vibrant canary yellow vaseline color with a bracket edge rim, perfect for adding a touch of retro charm to any space. Likely produced from a small cake stand type of mold or a flat card tray mold where the glass was then folded upwards while hot to create a folded card tray shape. Very hard to find, scarce, or even rare as this shape and color rarely comes to market. Made from pressed glass with a glossy finish, this collectible item is not only functional but also decorative, with UV reactive properties that enhance its appeal. Hand wash only to preserve its vintage beauty and enjoy this piece of vaseline glass history in your home.
This card tray is UV reactive and brightly glows or fluoresces green under 365nm and 395nm UV black lights, as seen in the darker photos, due to the low amount of uranium elements added to the glass during the manufacturing process. Black lights shown and used in photos are not included in this listing. This piece will appear to glow under natural UV sunlight too. It is very vibrant yellow or yellow-green in person, depending on lighting conditions.
Excellent condition. No chips or cracks. Small scuff or scratch on exterior near edge (pictured). Small air bubbles and mold seams are present, which are typical for vintage glassware. This piece is unmarked but research shows the pattern and shape is indicative of Cambridge and Mosser glass. See photos for details and condition.
