This highly sought-after, double-ended design features striking geometric chevron patterns & elegant vertical fluting along the trumpet body. Upside down, beautifully scalloped, hobnail-accented pedestal base serves as a secure pocket for a standard taper candle, a clever, multi-functional innovation typical of the Depression era. Fully tested & contains an excellent concentration of uranium oxide. It exhibits a spectacular, intense neon-green fluorescence under a standard UV blacklight. This is a museum-quality specimen meticulously cared for over nearly a century. Perfect centerpiece for a dedicated uranium glass collector, Art Deco enthusiast, or a high-end vintage display. NO chips, NO cracks, NO flea bites, NO water marks "sick glass". 6"x 4" (top rim) x 2.5" base See less
