Home All Opalescent Uranium Glass Ruffled Lamp Shade
A ruffled lamp shade sitting upright on its base. It is milky off-white in color, with a slight green tint near the base. Tool marks are visible on the insides of the ruffles.
The same lamp shade upside-down, showing the translucence of the glass and the orange quality of light shining through it. There is also a thin rim of clear glass around the ruffled edges. The abase is badly chipped.
The lamp shade upright on its base under UV light, causing the background to appear purple and the shade to fluoresce bright green. The clear rim is more visible here, as it does not fluoresce.
The lamp shade upside down again, under UV light and fluorescing bright green. The light from the UV lamp is being refracted through the shade in an interesting pattern.
