1930s Uranium Glass Flush Mount Ceiling Light, Hand-Painted Porcelain Art Deco

Glows Green Under UV, Glows Warm By Day: A 1930s Uranium Glass Flush Mount
Few fixtures do double duty quite like this one. By lamplight it is simply lovely — a softly glowing globe cradled in an ivory porcelain bowl, its surface hand-painted with clusters of blue and orange blossoms and trailing green leaves. Switch off the room light and bring a blacklight close, though, and the glass shade reveals its secret, fluorescing the bright, otherworldly green that only genuine uranium glass produces. It is the kind of detail that turns a ceiling fixture into a conversation piece. This flush mount dates to the 1930s, the height of the Depression Era, when even everyday lighting carried the molded leaf-and-scroll borders and concentric ring detailing of Art Deco design. The porcelain body is original, the floral decoration still vivid, and the fixture has been fitted with a new pull-chain socket and wiring so it is ready to install and use. It is a genuinely rare survivor — uranium glass shades in this condition, paired with intact hand-painted porcelain, are increasingly hard to find — and it will bring real period character to a bungalow hallway, kitchen, or vintage-styled room.

MEASUREMENTS
The fixture stands 2 1/2 inches tall. It measures 6 1/2 inches wide.

ELECTRICAL
It is rated for dry locations only. It accepts a standard medium base bulb, including incandescent, LED, or CFL types, up to a maximum of 60 watts. Bulb not included.

CONDITION
The fixture features a new porcelain pull-chain socket, new wiring and wire sheathing, a new mounting bracket, new nickel thumbnuts, and new installation hardware. The hand-painted floral decoration remains vibrant and the porcelain shade retains a pleasing gloss. The fixture is in good condition and is showing its age with only minor inconsistencies.
