Rare Art Deco Czech Uranium Vaseline Glass Salt Shaker & Toothpick Holder Set
Beautiful vintage Art Deco style Bohemian glass set consisting of a uranium Vaseline glass salt shaker with a distinctive black glass screw lid and a matching open toothpick holder.
The set features elegant geometric shapes, faceted glass surfaces and a delicate green color, characteristic of decorative glassware associated with the Art Deco period.
The contrasting black glass screw lid adds a particularly attractive decorative detail to the salt shaker, complementing the pale green glass and geometric design.
Both pieces display green fluorescence under UV light, as shown in the photographs.
Rare Black Glass Screw Lid
A particularly noteworthy feature of this set is the unusual black glass screw lid with seven perforations and an intact, fully functional internal glass thread.
Such glass screw lids appear to be rarely encountered compared with the more commonly seen metal or other replacement lids on vintage salt shakers. Finding an example with a surviving, functional glass thread is an especially interesting feature for collectors of Art Deco and Bohemian glass.
The lid screws securely onto the salt shaker. Its contrasting black glass construction gives the piece a distinctive appearance and adds to its collectible appeal.
