Dugan-Diamond 'Beaded Shell' Pattern Uranium Glass Plate

This is a vintage circular glass plate featuring an intense lime or 'apple' green coloration, which indicates the likely presence of uranium dioxide as a colorant, often causing it to glow under UV light. The plate is decorated with a complex pressed glass design known as the 'Beaded Shell' pattern, characterized by concentric textured rings at the center that transition into a series of uniform, narrow radial flutes or ribs extending to the rim. Measuring approximately 9 to 10 inches in diameter, the piece exhibits high-quality craftsmanship typical of the early 20th-century American pressed glass industry, specifically associated with manufacturers like Dugan or Diamond Glass-Ware Co. circa 1910-1920. The glass appears to have a semi-translucent quality with a glossy fire-polished finish. Condition-wise, the plate surfaces appear well-preserved with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy scratching on the face, though minor shelf wear to the base and microscopic production bubbles (seeds) common for this era may be present. The piece is displayed upright on a black tripod stand, highlighting its geometric symmetry and vibrant saturation. Its mid-century modern aesthetic appeal makes it a cross-collectible piece for both Depression-era glass enthusiasts and modern decor aficionados.
