Yellow-Green Vaseline!: A Guide to the Magic Glass

Yellow-Green Vaseline!: A Guide to the Magic Glass

This unique glass is yellow-green in natural light, but uranium oxide in the batch makes it fluoresce under-violet light. Since Glickman's book first appered in 1991, it has consistently been among best sellers, and a new revised edition has been made even better. Terry Fedosky has prepared this enlarged, updated edition. The chapters and photo captions have been significantly revised to include new information. All the glass from the original book is shown in the new edition, plus an additional 150 items from Ms. Fedosky's collection. In all, about 600 pieces of Vaseline glass appear in stunning color. Manufacturers are identified and production dates given. Up-to-date values are suggested for every of 59 shown in color.
