Antique/Vintage Glassware

Cambridge Glass #3011 Green Uranium Glass 2-Hole Figural Flower Frog

This is a vintage flower frog, manufactured in pressed uranium glass (also known as Vaseline glass), which exhibits its characteristic lime-green hue due to traces of uranium oxide. The piece likely dates to the Depression era, approximately the 1930s to early 1940s. Centrally, it features a raised cylindrical 'well' design designed to support a figural insert, flanked by two circular holes on a flat, clover-style base for stem placement. The glass is thick and transparent with visible mold lines indicative of mass production during the early 20th century. While it lacks a visible maker's mark in the photograph, the silhouette is consistent with designs by major American manufacturers like Cambridge Glass. The condition appears fair to good; there is notable surface grime and small dark debris caught within the crevices and near the base. A small fracture or impact mark is visible on the inner rim of the central cylinder, and there are minor flea bites and shelf wear along the scalloped edges of the base. If exposed to a long-wave ultraviolet light source, this item would emit a strong neon green fluorescence.
