Vaseline Glass
|
|
There are two types of Vaseline glass. The European definition describes Vaseline glass as any kind of creamy yellow glass shading to white, a coloring that resembles Vaseline ointment. The U.S. definition is any kind of glass that glows under ultra-violet light because it contains uranium. This glass can be green or yellow. During the latter part of the 19th century, glass containing uranium was made with heat sensitive chemicals which turned milky white when reheated, producing a shading effect from yellow to milky white at the edges. The pictured Vaseline goblet pictured below, features the popular “bars and beads pattern”. |
