Vintage Uranium Vaseline Glass Footed Serving Bowl Octagon Starburst Art Deco

This vintage uranium vaseline glass serving bowl is a beautiful example of early 20th-century glassmaking, crafted in a soft translucent green that immediately draws the eye. Its octagon-shaped form, gently flared rim, and sculpted footed base create a refined silhouette that reflects Art Deco-era aesthetics. Under black light, the glass glows with the unmistakable fluorescent effect prized by uranium glass collectors, adding an element of visual excitement to any display.

The bowl’s pressed starburst design at the center enhances its light-catching quality, sending reflections across the faceted walls and wide rim. Its generous size makes it functional for serving fruit or salads, yet it easily stands alone as a decorative centerpiece. Whether displayed in natural light, illuminated under UV, or incorporated into a curated vintage collection, it brings character, craftsmanship, and historical charm to any space.
