    Antique Uranium Vaseline Green Depression Glass Grill Counter Divided Plates Set
    Set of seven
    Antique Uranium Vaseline Green Depression Glass Grill Counter Divided Plates. Made with uranium glass, the luminous green color comes from
    uranium
    , usually in oxide
    diuranate
    form, added to a glass mix before melting for coloration.
    The normal color of uranium glass ranges from yellow to green depending on the
    oxidation state
    and concentration of the metal ions, although this may be altered by the addition of other elements as
    glass colorants
    . Uranium glass also
    fluoresces
    bright green under
    ultraviolet light
    and can register above background radiation on a sufficiently sensitive
    Geiger counter
    , although most pieces of uranium glass are considered to be harmless and only negligibly
    radioactive
    .
    Measuring 9.25" in diameter, these beautiful plates are divided into three sections and have a ring of molded texture detailing around the outer edge of the plates. There are
    seven plates in the set. Produced in the pre-WWII era.
