FAQs

Vaseline glass, also known as canary glass, is a type of pressed or blown glass produced during the 19th century that contains uranium dioxide. This additive imparts a distinctive transparent yellowish-green hue that fluoresces brightly under ultraviolet light.

These items were typically produced using a combination of hand-blowing and mould-pressing techniques, utilising silica, potash, and various metallic oxides for colouration. The molten glass was shaped using traditional iron and wooden tools before undergoing a careful annealing process.

Authentic pieces from the 19th century often display subtle manufacturing imperfections such as tiny air bubbles, pontil marks on the base, and minor surface wear consistent with age. Crucially, genuine pieces will emit a vibrant green glow when exposed to a UV or blacklight due to the uranium content.

Placing such items on open shelving, within glass-fronted cabinets, or near natural light sources allows the translucent material to catch and refract light effectively. Mixing period glassware with minimalist contemporary decor creates a sophisticated contrast that highlights the objects unique colour and form.

Antique glass should always be washed by hand in lukewarm water using a mild, non-abrasive detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock. It is advisable to store pieces securely away from direct, prolonged sunlight and vibrations.
