This type of glassware, also known as Vaseline glass due to its translucent yellow-green color, contains uranium dioxide, which causes it to fluoresce under ultraviolet light.
The use of uranium in glass production was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and largely ceased during World War II when uranium supplies were redirected for military use.
These cups were designed for home use to flush the eye with a sterile solution.
Uranium glass was popular from the 1830s to the 1930s; production largely ceased during World War II.
The glass is negligibly radioactive and generally considered harmless for ordinary handling.
