Available for your collection is an exceptional example of the "Open O's" pattern by the Dugan Glass Company. This piece represents the pinnacle of early 20th-century American pressed glass craftsmanship. The bowl features a vibrant, translucent green body that transitions into a dense, creamy white opalescent rim.

Collector’s Note on Reactivity: This piece is highly reactive. Under UV/Blacklight, it exhibits a brilliant, neon-green "Glow" characteristic of high-quality uranium glass.

Unlike many specimens found today, this bowl is in superb antique condition, retaining its original luster with no damage to the delicate "open loop" rim. It is a stunning display piece that bridges the gap between Victorian opalescent glass and the "Glow" glass movement.
