Description

Here is a lovely example of a late Victorian Vaseline / Uranium Glass vase that glows a striking luminous yellow-green when viewed under a UV light. I have seen this vase in several collections attributed to the John 'Walsh' Walsh company.

Dating to the end of the 19th century, the vase has a ruffled neck, and dimples around the main body, with an intricate pattern of dots within spiral bands that radiate out from the base.

The vase stands 15cm high, and 11cm across its widest part, and is in excellent condition, glossy and lustrous with no chips or cracks. There is a smoothed pontil mark to the base.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if I can provide any further information.

FAQs

Uranium glass, often called vaseline glass, contains trace amounts of uranium dioxide added as a colourant, typically produced during the 19th and early 20th centuries and known for glowing brightly under ultraviolet light.

These pieces were crafted using specialised glass batch formulations containing uranium salts, often shaped through free-blowing, mould-blowing, or heat-finishing techniques to achieve ruffled rims and delicate patterns.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit a characteristic translucent yellow-green tint, show appropriate age-related wear on the base, and will fluoresce a vivid neon green when exposed to a 365nm UV blacklight.

Place the vessel in a well-lit location near a window where natural sunlight can highlight its unique translucent colour, or display it on a mantelpiece to add a pop of heritage character to a room.

Clean the glass gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh abrasives, ultrasonic cleaners, and sudden temperature changes to protect the fragile historic material.
