Tiffin Glass Green Uranium Glass Plate with Gold Encrusted Scalloped Rim

This is a vintage octagonal or scalloped plate crafted from light green uranium glass (also known as Vaseline glass), likely produced between the 1920s and early 1940s. The plate features a pressed glass construction with a slightly recessed central well. The most distinguishing characteristic is the wide, heavy gold encrusted decoration along the outer rim. This gold fretwork appears to be an acid-etched or 'gold sand' pattern, typical of high-quality Depression-era glassware manufacturers like Tiffin or Fostoria. The glass displays a subtle greenish-yellow tint, which is indicative of uranium oxide content that would glow intensely bright green under UV/Ultraviolet light. The rim is divided into eight points with curved, scalloped edges between them. Regarding condition, there is visible wear to the gold gilding, particularly at the sharp points and edges, where the under-layer is showing through—a common sign of age and frequency of handling. There are no major chips or cracks evident in the photo, though typical 'straw marks' or cooling lines from the manufacturing process may be present. The level of detail in the gold filigree suggests a premium piece of tableware from the Art Deco period, designed for use as a salad plate or dessert saucer.
