A vintage McKee uranium glass custard cup from the Depression era. This dish glows neon green under blacklight (UV light) due to trace amounts of uranium oxide in the glass composition. The piece has the characteristic yellow-green tint of Vaseline glass in natural light.
McKee Glass Company was a major producer of Depression-era glassware during the 1930s-1940s. This custard dish was designed for serving individual portions of custard, pudding, or other desserts. The simple, functional design is typical of Depression-era kitchenware.
