Their dreamy pale aqua-green shade is much softer than the vivid greens typically associated with uranium glass, and that's exactly what makes them so special.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn ordinary light, the glass ranges from misty seafoam and pale mint to soft aqua, with a beautifully frosted, timeworn surface.
