Vintage Anchor Hocking Block Optic‎ Green Uranium Depression Glass Sherbet Cup 5

Produced by the Hocking Glass Co. (later Anchor Hocking) from 1929 to 1933. The glass has a distinctive "block optic" or "window pane" pattern with a cone-shaped, footed base. The green hue is due to uranium oxide used as a coloring agent, which causes the glass to glow under a UV light. The cups are typically used for desserts like sherbet or ice cream, and sometimes as a champagne coupe.
