Vintage Flush Mount Uranium Glazed Ceiling Light Fixture

Vintage Flush Mount Uranium Glazed Ceiling Light FixtureThis beautiful antique ceiling light fixture is made of uranium glass glazed porcelain and features a classic Art Deco design. The unique finish found in the piece's glazing is often called uranium glass or Vaseline glass. The glass gained popularity in the late 19th century and continued into the 20th century. It gets its name because it contains small amounts of uranium oxide, which gives the glass a characteristic yellow or greenish yellow glow
