Museum-Quality Uranium Glass Refrigerator Bowl w Star lid, Vtg. Radiance Capsule

This extraordinary refrigerator bowl embodies the radiant optimism of early-mid-century design — a time when even everyday glassware was treated as sculpture.Pressed in luminous uranium glass, it glows vividly under UV light and gleams like jade in natural daylight. The bowl is large and substantial — approximately 9 inches in diameter and 5 pounds with its fitted lid — and presents beautifully despite three small chips beneath the inner lip of the lid, noted for accuracy. These minor imperfections attest to its age and the journey it has taken through eight decades of kitchens and collections. The concentric rings, soft geometry, and radiant star-shaped finial give it the quiet gravitas of a museum object — utility made sublime. Whether displayed under sunlight, filled with citrus, or standing as a conversation piece on a modern counter, it brings history and glow in equal measure.
