The invention of Uranglas glass was by Josef Riedel, a great master, artist and entrepreneur, nicknamed King of Glass of the Jizera Mountains (Sudetenland, northern Bohemia). The invention was dedicated to his partner Anna, who became his wife in 1840. Made in various shades from fluorescent green (Annagruen) to yellow (Annagelb). This type of fluorescent glass became very popular in 19th-century Europe. The first artifacts of this type of refined workmanship are very rare and sought after.
