148 Vaseline Glass 3-D 1080p

Called by other names at times, Uranium Glass, Yellow Glass, Lemon Glass, Canary, Topaz and Primrose, the distinguishing feature of Vaseline Glass is that it glows under both flourescent and black light. Under flourescent light it glows yellow and under black light it glows green.
Uranium oxide, uranium sulfide and uranium dioxide were all used in various formulas to achieve this effect. Creating this distinctive glass began in the 1860s and continued until the 1950s. Cups, saucers, bowls, pitchers, dishes, vases, clocks, candle sticks, paperweights and more were produced and rapidly collected. Their height of popularity was in the 1920s and 1930s. Then, perhaps with the association to radioactivity changed by the atomic bomb, Vaseline Glass began to fall from favor and was seen as ‘dated’ and no longer ‘modern’ in the 1950s.
There are many books on Vaseline Glass available, but the best one the Jukebox has found is Sue C. Davis’s “Pictorial Guide to Vaseline Glass” with photography by Bill McFarling. All the images in this show are taken from it.
