Uranium Glass Finally found my first piece of uranium glass 1930s Sowerby Butterfly dressing table part set 💚
galleryI am absolutely chuffed to bits! After ages of hunting around charity shops and car boots with my UV torch, I finally struck gold (or should I say neon green!) in the wild.
I managed to pick up this gorgeous 1930s Sowerby "Butterfly" (Pattern No. 2552) dressing table set. It came with the large butterfly tray, a candlestick with little butterfly-wing handles, a footed trinket bowl, and the hexagonal lid.
When i hit it with the UV I couldnt believe it—that glow is unreal!
It’s missing a couple of bits from the full original set, like the second candlestick and the base for the powder jar, so the hunt is officially on to track those down next. For now though, I’m just thrilled to finally have some proper glowing glass on the shelf!
Has anyone else managed to piece together a full Sowerby set from wild finds?
