Vaseline glass
is glass
which has had uranium
added t
o a glass mix before
melting for coloration.
The proportion usually varies from trace levels to about
2% by weight uranium,
although some 20th-century pieces were made with up to 25% uranium.
Uranium (or Vaseline) Glass was once made into tableware and household items,
but fell out of widespread use when the availability of uranium
to most industries
was sharply curtailed during the Cold War
in the 1940's to 1990's.
Most such objects are now considered antiques or retro-era collectibles.
T
he most typical color of uranium glass is pale yellowish-green,
which in the 1920's led to the nickname
vaseline glass
.
Specialized collectors still define
"vaseline glass"
as transparent or semitransparent uranium glass in this specific color.
