About the Item

Fyens Glasværk Pressed Glass Uranium Green Pitcher & 2 Glasses, 1950s–60s A charming vintage set from the renowned Danish Fyens Glasværk, featuring a small pitcher and two petite glasses in pressed glass. This set is made in the rare and striking uranium green color, a distinctive pale green hue achieved by adding uranium oxide to the glass mixture. The uranium content gives the glass a unique fluorescence under UV light and a delicate glow that collectors prize. Production of uranium glass largely ceased by the late 1960s due to health regulations and changing industry standards, making surviving pieces like this especially collectible. This set showcases Fyens Glasværk’s signature ribbed pattern, a textured pressed glass design that enhances both the tactile feel and the visual appeal of the glassware. This ribbing highlights the subtle translucency and vintage charm of the uranium glass. Uranium glass remains highly sought after by collectors due to its unique glow, historic significance, and the intricate craftsmanship involved in its production. Pressed uranium glass pieces like this Fyens Glasværk set are especially prized for their combination of decorative pattern and vibrant color. A beautiful example of Danish mid-century design and craftsmanship, this set combines functional elegance with collectible appeal. Dimensions: Pitcher Height: 5.71 in (14.5 cm) Diameter: 3.54 in (9 cm) Width with handle and spout: 5.31 in (13.5 cm) Glasses Height: 3.54 in (9 cm) Diameter: 2.36 in (6 cm) About Fyens Glasværk Fyens Glasværk was one of Denmark’s most renowned glass manufacturers, founded in Odense in 1870. Known for its high-quality craftsmanship, the factory produced both hand-blown and pressed glass with distinctive mid-century designs. Their signature ribbed pattern became a hallmark of many pieces. Fyens Glasværk’s glassware blends functionality with timeless style and remains highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
