Vintage Uranium Glass Divided Plate (Depression Era)

This is a round, three-compartment divided plate crafted from what appears to be uranium glass, also known as Vaseline glass, given its distinctive pale yellowish-green hue. The glass exhibits a subtle glow or fluorescence, particularly noticeable along the raised dividers which are more intensely colored in a brighter, almost neon green. The plate features three distinct sections, suitable for serving different food items without them mixing, a common design for relish dishes or children's plates from the mid-20th century. The glass is transparent, allowing light to pass through. Its construction seems to be molded glass, indicating mass production. There are no clear maker's marks or signatures visible in the provided image. The edges appear smooth and rounded, suggesting a comfortable handling experience. The overall condition appears good with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant abrasions from the visual information available, though closer inspection would be required to confirm this. The style and material strongly suggest it belongs to the Depression Era (roughly 1929-1939) or slightly later, when uranium glass was popular for its affordability and unique color. This type of glassware is prized by collectors for its historical significance and its characteristic glow under UV light. The craftsmanship, though mass-produced, represents typical quality for utilitarian glass items of that period.
