Antique Manganese Glass Candy Dish – Clear Victorian Pressed Glass

Stunning antique manganese glass candy dish dating to the late 1800s–early 1900s. This beautiful pressed-glass piece appears crystal clear in normal light, but glows bright neon green under ultraviolet (blacklight) — a hallmark of genuine manganese-doped glass from the Victorian era.

Features an elegant cut-glass diamond and sunburst pattern with a saw-tooth rim and integrated loop handles, a style produced by high-quality American glass houses such as Heisey, Imperial, and U.S. Glass.

Manganese was used historically as a glass de-colorizer, and today these pieces are highly sought after by collectors for their striking UV fluorescence and early 20th-century craftsmanship.

Perfect for collectors of uranium glass, manganese glass, Victorian decor, or glowing glassware.

A truly eye-catching display piece — especially under blacklight.
