I have never heard of Vaseline glassware. I can only remember blue glass Vaseline jars, not the green. Some of the auction items are very beautiful.

Amazing to think that people would use something like this and not think it dangerous at one time. I think I may have heard the term somewhere before, but never knew anything about this.

I guess it would be a bit problematic flying home with it too - depending on how sensitive the airport detectors are to radioactivity!

Vaseline glass is quite hard to come by; my grandmother had a couple of Vaseline glass bowls, but sadly they've disappeared like so many other things over the years.

In the 1920's Vaseline was sold in a yellowish/greenish glass container and the way the product looked in that container under natural lighting resembled the way the glassware looked. I'll have to go back and edit the article. I also found out that there is some new production Vaseline glassware being created today under very limited circumstances due to the strict regulations and the potential for health hazards and lawsuits.

The things that are collectable always amaze me. I'm confused on this one though. Is it called Vaseline glass because the lubricant Vaseline used to be sold in jars made of this glass? You wrote: "The Vaseline name came about because the pale, transparent to semi-transparent, yellow-green color resembled that product’s packaging in the same era." I'm not sure what you mean by <b>that product's packaging</b>? Was it Vaseline lubricant, and how was that packaged (what was the packaging)? Am I making sense? ~ Steve hi Frank, interesting article.
