Clearing Agent: Manganese was added to glass from the 1880s to around World War I to counteract the greenish tint from iron impurities, making it clearer. UV Reaction: When this manganese-containing glass is exposed to sunlight (UV radiation) for extended periods, the manganese changes form. Color Change: This chemical change results in a beautiful lavender or deep amethyst purple color. This antique glass bottle is a stunning addition to any collection. Also Pre WWI at its finest!
