One of these is not like the others, can you tell just by looking at them ? (Apart from colour) One is hiding a interesting and spooky part of history.

To the naked eye all three look the same but turn the lights out, shine a UV light and it will show its true colours !

This is uranium glass (often called Vaseline glass due to that vintage, translucent yellow-green hue). Popularized in the 19th century and through the Art Deco era, makers added small amounts of uranium oxide to the glass mix before it went into the kiln.

The result? It looks like a beautiful antique by day and a radioactive sci-fi artifact by night. And don't worry it’s perfectly safe to display.

At Restoration Station, we love the hunt for character-rich pieces and we’ll help match them to your property, not just your taste. For a restoration that feels genuinely of its time, this is the guide you’ll want on hand.

When you’re restoring an old ceiling, the choice between pressed metal and plaster ceiling roses isn’t just cosmetic—it changes the look, weight, and period feel of the whole room. Pressed metal brings crisp detail and durability that suits busy, older homes, while plaster offers that classic, soft-moulded presence you’d expect in many heritage interiors. In our latest piece, we break down how to weigh authenticity, installation realities, and long-term performance so you can match the character of your property—not fight it. If you love getting the details right, this one will sharpen how you spot the best fit for your next heritage project.
