Technical Description 

A superb set of six 19th century vaseline wine glasses. They have ogee bowls with a band of cut and engraved festoons with engraved fleur-de-lis above each swag. A band of slice cuts at the base of the bowl above angular knop stems. Conical feet with snapped pontils. We have included a single picture of one of the glasses photographed under UV light. As you can see the effect is dramatic.

Comments

Vaseline glass is a term for the transparent yellow through yellow-green glass that owes its colour to the uranium content (which is perfectly safe to use). However green uranium glasses can also be called Vaseline glass, but its colour is produced by adding iron to the pot.


A rare set of glasses which we dont recall seeing before.
