IT FLUORESCES BRIGHT GREEN UNDER UV LIGHTING, DUE TO URANIUM OXIDES IN THE GLASS, WHICH WERE ADDED DURING THE MOLTEN / HAND-MADE / BLOWN PROCESS. INSIDE THE BOX, IT HOLDS A POLISHED BRASS LIGHTER BY EVANS. IT IS IN VERY CLEAN CONDITION AND SPARKS WHEN STRUCK. THE GLASS BOX IS MURANO, MADE IN ITALY.THE LIGHTER IS MADE IN THE USA. (I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS THE ORIGINAL LIGHTER TO THIS BOX.) THE BRASS MOUNTS AND HINGE ARE SECURE AND BRIGHT, WITH A WARM GOLD PATINA. THIS IS VINTAGE, MID CENTURY.
