Synopsis
Over 400 Vaseline pieces from British, American, and European glasshouses of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century.
Barrie Skelcher explains the nature of uranium-colored glass, or Vaseline glass, and attributes makers to many of the examples he presents. Over 400 items are shown here in color photographs from British, American, and European glasshouses of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The manufacturers are identified along with their uranium bearing products, and a section on special interest pieces is a bonus.
What strikes the observer right away are the intense colors of the glass in predominantly green, yellow, and pink hues. They comprise all sorts of useful and collectible tablewares, from condiment containers and candlesticks to bowls and flower vases. This fascinating study illuminates the subject and will be cherished by all future investigators and collectors of Vaseline glass. Value ranges are included in the captions.
