Vaseline Glass is a particular color of yellow-green glass that is made by adding 2% Uranium Dioxide to the ingredients when the glass formula is manufactured.
Recently however, vaseline glass manufacture has been re-started by some Czech glass producers who often copy the styles and patterns of antique english glass makers.
Some of the more notable English glassmakers to use uranium as a yellow/green colourant were Davidson, Greener, Sowerby and Burtles Tate.
