This is a beautiful vintage mixing or serving bowl from the Hocking Glass Company, featuring a soft, translucent pastel green that contains uranium oxide, causing it to fluoresce a vibrant neon green under blacklight (as shown in the photos). The bowl has a simple, elegant design typical of Depression-era kitchenware: smooth, unpatterned sides with a gently flared rim for easy pouring and handling, and a flat base for stability. The bowl exhibits a classic Depression-era design with a smooth, plain surface, no decorative patterns or etchings, and a gently rolled rim for easy handling. It measures 3.5 inches in height and 8.75 inches in diameter at the top, making it a versatile piece suitable for kitchen use, as a console bowl, or as a decorative centerpiece. Under normal lighting, it appears as a translucent light green, but it transforms into a vibrant neon glow under UV light, confirming its uranium content (a hallmark of authentic Vaseline glass produced before World War II). The base is flat with a manufacturing mark in the center, for Hocking Glass Company.

Material: Uranium glass (also called Vaseline glass), containing a small percentage of uranium dioxide for coloration and fluorescence. The glass is translucent with a glossy finish; safe for decorative use (uranium levels are low and non-hazardous for handling, though not recommended for food storage due to age).

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, hairlines, or repairs visible. Minor surface scratches and bubbles consistent with age and hand-blown manufacturing techniques. The rim is smooth and intact, with no signs of wear from utensils. Overall, well-preserved and ready for display or light use.
