Description :

An exquisite small perfume bottle crafted from Vaseline glass, dating likely to the 1930s Depression era. The urn-shaped body features fine horizontal banding around the shoulder and rests on a circular foot with concentric ribbing. Its original ribbed stopper tapers to a dauber, fitting snugly into the neck. Under UV or blacklight, the entire piece glows a vivid neon green—an unmistakable trait of uranium-infused glass.

  • Material: Uranium (Vaseline) glass fluorescent under UV light

  • Color: Transparent yellow green (chartreuse hue in daylight)

  • Period: Circa 1930s

  • Origin: Unmarked; likely American or Czech glasshouse


Collector’s Note:

Vaseline glass, named for its yellow green “petroleum jelly” hue, was produced by adding trace uranium oxide to the glass mixture. These glowing perfume bottles are prized for their Art Deco elegance and scientific allure—making them standout pieces in any vanity or uranium glass collection.
