Vaseline glass, also known as uranium glass, is a type of glassware that has been produced since the 1830s. Vaseline glass contains small amounts of uranium, typically between 2-25%. This gives the glass its distinctive yellow-green hue. One of the most notable features of Vaseline glass is its ability to fluoresce under ultraviolet (UV) light, causing it to glow bright green. This property is due to the uranium content. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, Vaseline glass was often included in promotions and giveaways, making it a common household item in the United States. Today, Vaseline glass is highly collectible. Its unique properties and historical significance make it a sought-after item among antique and glassware enthusiasts.

I was almost as impressed by the packaging as I was by the contents. Short of being run over by a tank, nothing was going to damage the item I ordered.
