Vintage L.E. Smith Satin Uranium Glass Elephant Powder Jar 4" x 4.5"

This frosted green glass powder jar with elephant finial was produced by the L.E. Smith Glass Company in the 1930s during the Art Deco period. The piece features a distinctive satin or frosted finish and was likely made with uranium glass, which gives it a subtle green color and can glow under ultraviolet light.  These decorative powder jars were popular vanity items during the Depression Era, combining functionality with the period's fascination with exotic animals and Art Deco styling. Collectors of Depression glass, Art Deco vanity items, and uranium glass particularly value these pieces for their distinctive design, craftsmanship, and the characteristic glow that uranium glass produces under blacklight.  Please note a few flea bites along the rim of the lid. Glows beautifully!
