Verified museum-grade J. Hoare crystal from Corning, NY—hand-cut in the 1890s, tested for high-intensity Uranium glow, and bundled with a professional collector\'s kit.
Item DescriptionProfessional ACGA/CMOG grade inspection: This is an authentic 7-inch tankard by J. Hoare & Co. in the \"Whirling Star\" pattern (#5152). This is Authentic Period Cut Glass, hand-wrought during the American Brilliant Period (ABP). Unlike modern reproductions, this piece was hand-cut on stone wheels and acid-polished, resulting in superior light refraction. Forensic testing confirms a high-intensity Uranium charge, exhibiting a brilliant neon green fluorescence under 365nm UV light.
ConditionVery Good Antique Condition. Note: Features one stable internal \"fisher\" (stress line) near the base. This is an internal annealing mark common in heavy lead crystal; it cannot be felt with a fingernail and does not compromise the structure. No external chips or rim damage.
UV Identification Kit IncludedIncludes a 365nm UV Identification Flashlight and an Educational Glass Identification Sheet to verify and display the \"Hidden Glow\" of this Corning masterpiece.
