Vintage Depression Era Green Vaseline/Uranium Glass Pedestal Cake Stand

This is a vintage pedestal cake stand crafted from translucent lime-green glass, commonly referred to as Green Depression Glass. Given its distinct vibrant hue, it is highly likely to be 'Uranium glass' or 'Vaseline glass,' which contains trace amounts of uranium dioxide and would fluoresce bright green under a UV light. The stand features a wide, flat circular plate with a slightly raised outer rim and a subtle concentric ring pattern in the center to provide stability for cakes. The plate is supported by a thick, tapered pedestal stem that flares out into a wide, stable domed base. A prominent vertical mold line is visible on the stem, indicating it was produced using a press-mold manufacturing process common during the 1930s. The glass appears to be in good vintage condition with no large chips or cracks visible in the image, though characteristic 'straw marks' (minor cooling lines) and small air bubbles inherent to Depression-era glass production may be present upon closer inspection. The craftsmanship is typical of high-volume American glassware companies of the era, such as Anchor Hocking, Federal Glass, or Hazel-Atlas. The overall style is functional yet elegant, representing American kitchenware from approx. 1929-1939.
