Know before you buy
Uranium glass contains trace amounts of uranium oxide, which gives it a signature green glow under UV light. While it is generally considered safe for occasional use, it is not recommended for storing acidic liquids for long periods, as the glass may leach small amounts of material over time.
Because this is a vintage piece, it is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it gently with mild soap and warm water to preserve the integrity of the glass and its finish.
No, this pitcher is not microwave safe. Rapid temperature changes can cause vintage glass to crack or shatter, so it should only be used for serving room-temperature or chilled beverages.
No, this piece is not lead-free. It is a vintage item manufactured during a period when lead was commonly used in glass production, which is typical for collectible glassware of this era.
It is versatile enough for both. While it functions perfectly as a serving vessel for drinks, its unique color and historical design make it an excellent decorative accent for a shelf or dining table when not in use.
