🌌 **Uranium Glass – A Glow in the Dark** 🌌

Prepare to be transported to another dimension with this next piece from the Prague glass exhibition! This collection, called *Uranium glassware*, was set up in a dark, secluded part of the botanical gardens, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The glass pieces were illuminated with black light, causing them to glow in neon yellow with a greenish tint—like something out of a sci-fi movie! 🛸

The shapes were perfectly chosen to enhance the eerie, futuristic vibe. Some pieces looked like alien flora, while others resembled geometric structures from a distant galaxy. The contrast between the dark surroundings and the glowing glass was absolutely hypnotic.

It felt like stepping into a hidden world where art and nature collide in the most unexpected way. 🌿✨
