Thing is, my friend and I would actually do this. We got the idea from an old meme he had found on twitter or someplace and decided we *will* do this. He then asked if we could do this at pride and, laughing historically, i immediately asked the organizers if this was even allowed.

Uranium glass came to the united states in the late 1800s, theorized to have been brought from Europe through trade. It was later manufactured in the states and used in all sorts of dishware, household appliances, and accessories.

The production of Uranium glass as we know it today began in 1834 and was invented by Claus Josef Reidel, Czech Glassmaker and chemist. The Uranium would be melted down then mixed into the glass mixture to give it the jade green color we would see later in jadeite mugs.

Later other companies copied this hit color in their own productions; Most famously, the Anchor Hocking created their own version in 1942, being coined colloquially as 'jadeite green'

Pros of this sort of mug is its lightweight factor, being considerably lighter than the standard ceramic mug, as well as its thermal qualities. Unfortunately they sell for very high, usually ranging between $50-64 per mug and $250-340 for the collection.

The identifying features of this kind of mug is its double layer of glass, one that holds the liquid and one that creates the exterior. The sizes vary depending on the model and shape of the mug, usually hosting a D shaped handle on its side.

The collection including this mug first came out in September of 2015 and was designed to give a 'floating' effect to the liquid put inside, as well as be more comfortable to the touch when holding hot liquids.
