Mr. Vaseline Glass!
|
What
exactly IS the definition of Vaseline Glass?
Vaseline glass (known in Victorian times as Canary Glass) is a
yellow-green glass that will glow a bright neon green when placed next
to a UV-Blacklight. The 'glow' comes from uranium salts that were added
to the glass to make the yellow-green color. About 2% of the total
weight of ingredients in Vaseline Glass contains Uranium salts.
Vaseline Glass MUST BE YELLOW-GREEN! It can have a satin texture, or it
can be stretch glass, or even have an opalescent trim on it, but it has
to be yellow-green in color. I am the editor and a board of trustee
member of the Vaseline Glass Collectors Inc., a non-profit organization
dedicated to educating and unifying vaseline glass collectors
everywhere. The official newsletter of our club is called GLOWING
REPORT. If you are interested in becoming a member of our organization,
please
write to me for details. |
