I'm cleaning out a relative's house and one of the fun finds has been glassware that glows under UV light and thus might contain uranium. But fluorescence isn't especially bright so I have to find a Geiger counter to confirm. #uvlight #fluorescence #uranium #glass #glassware #annagrün #annagelb

No.4 in my antiques series:

Ale glasses

Due to the interminable wars with the French, drinking French wine was seen as unpatriotic in the Georgian period, so better-off Brits drank strong ale instead. At around 10% ABV, this was drunk from conical ale glasses, capacity about 4 ounces.
The glass shown below dates from about 1790-1800. At 6 inches tall, it is a 'short ale', meaning it has a shorter stem than a true ale glass but a longer one than a 'dwarf ale'.

I've come into possession of three sets of stemware from the early 1900s and I'd love to learn more about their origins. Are there any glassware nerds here? I've tried reverse image search and have come up with nothing. #glassware #stemware #glasses #cups #alcohol #antique #vintage

"Entre Verre".

With #Russia now being associated with murderous state aggression I feel "Russian dolls" (Matryoshka dolls) are a faux pas in the modern interior.

On a trial basis for the next week (or until my, uhm, housemate says otherwise) this lovely #Borosilicate #laboratory #glassware will fulfill the decorative role of "fun nested bunch of things"

Love when I discover a new set of vintage glassware… now the search for who made it and what they are called… Anyone have any ideas?

Remember me searching for that glass on the birdsite, back then?

Finally, I found Mon Mothma's exact glass from her Party in Star Wars Andor. It's expensive, but I will get it for my collection of sci-fi drinkware. #StarWarsAndor

Porting over my one hit tweet.

If a condenser wore pants, would it:
wear them like this or like this.
