What? Vaseline Glass vs Vaseline Glass? There are two definitions for Vaseline Glass. Definition number 1 the glass itself is a yellow color. Definition number 2 is anything that fluoresces a yellow color under a black light is Vaseline Glass.
The Vaseline Collector webpage http://www.vaselineglass.org/ states " Vaseline Glass is a particular color of yellow-green glass that is made by adding 2% Uranium Dioxide to the ingredients when the glass formula is made". And "yellow to yellow-green glass that turns fluorescent, bright green (under UV light) is the only true verification of Vaseline Glass".
This means that if the glass is clear or pink and glows green it is not Vaseline Glass. We think this "controversy" could be solved by calling any glass that fluoresces Fluorescent Glass and any glass that is a yellow color and fluoresces yellow to yellow-green Vaseline Glass.
