<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 9616958, member: 5833"]Something in the glaze reacts to UV. Ordinary white printer paper looks like this under UV. So do some diamonds. Not sure the effect qualifies as fluorescence, which means a material emits light it has absorbed, as opposed to light it reflects. There's an experiment to do: take the reactive material into a closet or other dark space, shine UV on it for a while, then see if it still glows when the UV is turned off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
