Vintage Uranium Glass Plates – Royal Lace, Swag & Depression-Era Dish – 1930s

A luminous trio of Depression-era uranium glass plates, each with its own unique design and charm. Sold individually or as a bundle, these plates glow beautifully under UV light and make wonderful additions to a collector’s cabinet, or striking serving pieces for a vintage-inspired table.

Why I Chose These Pieces

I adore uranium glass for its magical glow, and I couldn’t resist bringing together three very different patterns into one listing. Each plate tells its own story of the 1930s — delicate lace, graceful swags, and classic Depression-era simplicity. They make such a lovely grouping, whether you choose just one or all three.

A Little Background

Uranium glass, often called Vaseline glass, was beloved during the Depression era for its cheerful green glow, which comes from uranium oxide added to the glass formula. Makers like Hazel Atlas and Anchor Hocking produced a wide variety of patterns, often sold affordably or given away as promotional items. Today, these glowing treasures are highly collectible for their beauty, history, and enduring charm.
