1930s ‘Cameo’ Uranium Glass Sugar & Creamer Set | The "Dancing Girl"
A glowing duo for your morning tea or dessert table. This authentic Depression-era sugar bowl and creamer set is a centerpiece in miniature. Manufactured by the Hocking Glass Company between 1930 and 1934, the ‘Cameo’ pattern (also cherished as "Ballerina") features the iconic molded silhouette of a dancing figure framed by delicate, classical swags.
While they appear as a serene, translucent green in daylight, these pieces are crafted from authentic Uranium glass. When placed under a UV blacklight, they emit a brilliant, neon-green glow—a storied "secret" that makes every pour a bit more magical.

These pieces have survived nearly a century, proving that high-quality design is the ultimate form of sustainability.
