Custard Glass – Uranium Glass
by Paul
Custard glass is called that because of it's yellow "custard" color. It gets that color from uranium added to the molten glass mixture. It will glow green under a black (UV) light. For some reason it was really popular with glass items made for the souvenir trade. There are all sorts of custard glass items stamped "Souvenir of ...". They tend to have more value as sourvenirs than as glass.
