Super Heavy Duty HANDMADEUranium Glass VASE!







This Super Heavy Vase was Hand blown in the mountains of the Czech Republic around 2003. We did it the traditional way : Mouth blown into water soaked wooden molds. It measures 15\" tall and has a nice and stable 6\" base so you don\'t accidentally knock it over. We polished the top rim so nice that it GLOWS fluorescent Green even in Natural Sunlight.

This will be the Largest andBrightest Piece in your collection


For some history, I was an American living in the Czech Republic soon after 9/11. I was already manufacturing lighting glass for a company based in Spokane Washington and dealt with glass factories on a daily basis. Being a life longDeadHead I loved ANYTHING thatGLOWED .......................... and of course you know the reputation ofDeadHeads and partying so these \" VASES\" were a natural culmination of where my life was at that time. I found interested people in the glass capital of the Hippy world ........................EUGENE , OREGON and well, the plan came together. Plans do not always work out. We made the first and only batch of these in 2003 and shipped that batch ofKRYPTONYTE GLASS into the states ( I wish I had copyrighted that name) . In 2004, Operation PIPE DREAM gutted the smoking accessory industry destroying the likes of GRFFIX, CHILLS and JBD amongst many others. We decided that these were not worth going to jail over , so we just put them in storage for 20 years. Now, you have the opportunity to buy a VINTAGE piece of Stoner history. Since the original manufacturer in Zelezny Brod, Czech Republic closed during COVID, They will NEVER be made again .................... and we are RUNNING LOW! Don\'t miss out!

I havelistened toa lot of debate from people regarding the safety of Uranium, Vaseline glass. I know that historically Uranium has a bad reputation because of its association with the BOMB. You always have to be vigilant when it comes to your health and I respect people being cautious when it comes to health dangers. You really do not have anything to worry about with this glass. First off, Uranium has been used as a colorant in glass for hundreds of years (yellow). It glows a brilliant green when exposed to ultra violet light. The radioactive component of Uranium is Radium. Less than one half of a percent of all Uranium that exists on Earth has a sufficient enough Radium content that it could then be processed and concentrated enough to be used for a weapon.


Radiation is present in everyday life.
So yes, canary glass, uranium glass, or Vaseline glass, as it became known in the early 20th century for its similar color to petroleum jelly, emits radiation, but the amounts are tiny, infinitesimal, ridiculously small.
The beds we sleep in are radioactive; the lawns we sprawl out on during the dog days of summer are, too. In fact, there’s more radioactive potassium-40 inside each and every one of us than anyone could ever receive from handling, using, or just plain eyeballing a piece, display case, or entire museum full of Vaseline glass.


Vitrification is a MIRACULOUSbuffer to Radiation. Glass inhibits radiation so well thatafter the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, the Russians dumped SAND onto the fireball in the reactor in order to Vitrify it and drop the radiation levels.


Is it SAFE? I would not sell it, would not allow it and we would NEVER be allowed to SHIP it if it were Radioactive. I think that Everyone should do their own research to ease their minds if there is a concern. Theres alot of us KOOKS out here on the internet.

About Us

BalmerGlassisNOT your typicalglass company. As a kid I was fascinated by glass dishes and bottles thatI would find around old home sites on the Rural Eastern Shore of MD. As an adult , I can\'t say that I am a hoarder (some might),but when going through buildings that are being torn down, I pay attention to glass that is worth giving a new life to. It could be bottles, light shades, rippled window glass , wire glass or even chunks of glass cullet that are left over from when we had a glass industry in this country. I even went so far as to start blowing and manufacturing items myself. This site gives us the opportunity to share our obsession with YOU.


We started in the Architectural salvage business rescuing fireplace mantles and cast iron door locks from construction dumpsters, we have opened our eyes to many types of waste that are overlooked and often fall through the cracks. Our focus is, and will always be the salvage of interesting and desireable objects. One week we could be in an old school, the next week a factory, and the following week a Shipyard or Power Plant. One day we may be removing Vintage lighting, the next Signs and Vintage blueprints, and the following day we clean out the Machine shop and parts crib.

We literally have NO idea what we have coming around the corner, so make sure you add us to your favorites and check back often.
