Bulb Bowls

This Davidson bulb bowl is the only glass example I know. I don't know if it's UV-reactive as I put bulbs in it and put it in the cellar as soon as I got it but I will check it when the bulbs are ready to come into the light, hopefully in December.

after the bulbs in it were finished and I was able to photograph it under UV light I would say it has little or no uranium, some reaction from other components in the glass?
