Description

Glass cruet vaseline with opalescent stripes. Greenish yellow Vaseline glass, also known as uranium glass, is a type of glass that contains uranium oxide, which gives it a distinctive yellow-green color and the ability to glow under ultraviolet light. The cruet has a bulbous body with a slender neck and a clear glass handle. Opalescent stripes are visible, adding to the glass's decorative appeal. The piece is likely vintage, dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when Vaseline glass was popular.
