The green glass base and stem were made using uranium dioxide (Vaseline glass). When hit with a UV/blacklight, it glows a vibrant, neon green.

Please note these glasses are being sold individually! Weston "Watermelon" etched wine glasses are highly collectible pieces of Depression-era elegant glassware manufactured by the Weston Glass Company (and later Louie Glass Company) in Weston, West Virginia, primarily during the 1920s and 930s. They are famously nicknamed "watermelon" glass because of their distinct bi-color construction: a pink or rose-colored bowl paired with a pale green stem and foot. The green glass base and stem were made using uranium dioxide (Vaseline glass). When hit with a UV/blacklight, it glows a vibrant, neon green. If you look closely at the pink bowl, the glass itself features a "diamond optic" structural pattern, creating faint vertical or diamond-shaped ridges that catch the light. The outside of the pink bowl is decorated with delicate, wheel-etched patterns—most commonly showcasing floral designs, flowing vines, leaves, or tiny berries. Each measures approximately 7 1/4 inches high, however, there is up to an eighth of an inch difference between glasses. Condition: Used. Category: Pottery & Glass › Drinkware & Barware › Drinkware.
