This unique shade has a beautiful iridescent coating, and it fluoresces a lovely bright green under ultraviolet light as well, as an effect of the uranium that was commonly used as a colorant at the time. Great for adding some antique elegance to your home, or as part of a collection!

Condition: Excellent antique condition. Small amounts of stubborn grime on the surface, and some chipping around the fitter and a few very small chips in the rim, but no major surface cracks or chips.

Dimensions:
- Fitter: 1 7/16"
- Overall height: 5 1/4"
- Overall width: 3"
