In 1835 experiments with uranium as a glass colourant were being carried out by Whitefriars Glass Works in London and in 1836 a pair of uranium glass candlesticks were presented to Her Majesty the Queen.

However, some glass collectors believe it was first used by Josef Riedel at his Bohemian glassworks in the 1830's.

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.

Some of the more notable English glassmakers to use uranium as a yellow/green colourant were Davidson, Greener, Sowerby and Burtles Tate.
