Vintage Uranium Green Depression Glass Tidbit Tray Loop Handle, 1930s
This is a beautiful vintage uranium glass tidbit tray dating back to the 1930s Depression era. The tray features a smooth round plate with a central loop handle for easy serving. Under UV/black light, it glows brightly due to the uranium content, a signature feature that makes these pieces highly collectible.
Handled tidbit trays like this were commonly used for serving cookies, sandwiches, or desserts at tea parties and luncheons during the 1930s–40s. Today, they are admired for their elegant Art Deco design and their striking fluorescent glow.
This piece was likely produced by one of the major Depression glass manufacturers such as Hazel-Atlas, Federal Glass, or Hocking Glass, all of which made uranium glass serving trays during that period.
