Uranium 

U-pushes, tooled edges, button base

8/10 Rarity Scale

This Canadian vintage ashtray made by EDAG Crystal is a radiant example of mid-century uranium art glass, featuring a warm amber overlay that transitions into a glowing green under UV light. Hand-shaped with crimped and tooled edges, the bowl’s fluid, ruffled form evokes organic movement, while distinctive U-pushes along the outer walls add texture and visual rhythm. Likely crafted in the 1950s–60s, this piece highlights the artistry of Canadian glassmakers through its layered colour, expertly manipulated form, and sculptural elegance. Originally designed as an ashtray, its versatile shape also makes it a striking catchall or display piece for collectors drawn to the charm of uranium glass.
