RARE Vtg 30s Westite Custard Uranium Glass Bathroom Toilet Paper Holder Art Deco
Details
Really interesting and incredibly rare 1930s custard uranium glass toilet paper roll holder/ fixture, made by Westite Glass Co! I cannot find any record of others surviving so this is certainly one of a kind. This three-piece set is a creamy beige color and made with UV-reactive uranium oxide as a colorant, meaning it glows beautifully under UV.
As this was a functional household item nearly 100 years ago, it not surprisingly has some damage- there are a series of small chips and flea bites as well as one big chip near where the rod fits into the holders. I've tried my best to photograph the flaws, so please see photos for details and for measurements. This does not come with any mounting hardware for affixing it to your wall. I do have a toothbrush holder from the set available for sale as well in a separate listing.
Thanks for looking!
