    OldGuy remembered it in post #9

    Finding so many sellers, going back as far as 2007 using same pictures over and over again, all these years. Some claiming made in USA, but no bragging up an attribution to a glass company.

    There was one seller in Australia who sold 2 as Depression Glass and got the highest prices. Other descriptions are evasive.

    "Sorry I wasn't clear. The woman at the antique store sold it to my mother as vaseline glass..."

    Then the woman in the store was mistaken. Vaseline glass is a collector's name for yellow glass with uranium in the mix that makes it glow and erie green under black light. It was named that because the color of old Vaseline Petroleum Jelly was yellow.

    KingofThings is correct - If it's green......it's not Vaseline.

    Green glass that glows under black light is "green uranium glass" :shame:
