Tiffin Glass Green Uranium Glass Footed Vase

This is a vintage footed vase crafted from translucent light green glass, characterized by its distinct optic ribbing. Based on the yellowish-green tint and glowing properties visible, it is identified as 'Vaseline' or Uranium glass, which contains trace amounts of uranium oxide that react under UV light. The vase features a flared, wide rim with a rounded lip, a bulbous body with wide vertical optic ribs that catch the light, and a tapered base resting on a circular, stepped pedestal foot. This specific style and color are highly characteristic of the Tiffin Glass Company or similar American glass manufacturers such as Westmoreland or Hazel-Atlas, typically dating from the late Depression era through the 1940s. The construction shows high-quality mold-blown techniques with a polished finish. In terms of condition, the glass appears clear with no immediate evidence of clouding or sickness. There are minor surface scratches consistent with age and shelf wear on the underside of the base. The piece lacks a visible maker's mark, which is common for glassware of this period, often identified by its specific silhouette and the 'optic' pattern. Its substantial size and the vibrant response to UV (blacklight) make it a desirable collector's piece of Art Deco era utilitarian glassware.
