✨ Special Feature: Manganese Glow Under UV Light This pitcher contains manganese dioxide, a decolorizing agent commonly used in glassmaking before the 1920s. While intended to produce clear glass, manganese reacts to ultraviolet (UV) light by emitting a soft green or pale violet glow. This subtle fluorescence is a hallmark of antique glass and helps authenticate its age. Collectors value this glow not only for its visual intrigue but also for its connection to early glassmaking techniques.
