Uralite siphon

Magical!! An old Seltzer or sparkling water siphon engraved with the name "E. Bony & Cie" and glowing with an intense green color under UV light, indicating that it is made of uranium glass.

This type of collectible bottle generally dates back to the first half of the 20th century (1900s to 1940s). Uranium glass contains small amounts of uranium oxide, which gives it this characteristic fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet rays.

• Glass body: Blue-green tint with air bubbles characteristic of old manufacturing and embossed engraving on the glass.

• Mechanism: Metal pourer head and lever patinated by time.

• Original use: Used in cafes and bars to serve sparkling water.
