Instead of putting grandma's glassware back in boxes in the basement, I've decided to display the pieces I found. So this evening I cleaned out a space and mounted a light. The cadmium glass doesn't pop as much with the blacklight as a UV, but the uranium glass does. Can't win them all.
I'm displaying all my antique glassware not just the uranium. It brings back memories.

@That_One_Guy@mastodon.world super! I wonder if maybe you could get a cheap source that would be enough to get the cadmium glass to "pop" a bit more. like a single diffuse UV LED of the right wavelength
