Vaseline glass is a type of glassware that was produced primarily from the 1880s through the 1920s, by adding small amounts of uranium dioxide to the formula to achieve a fluorescent, glowing yellow-green color.

Vaseline glass was used for all sorts of glassware, including decorative pieces, tableware, and perfume bottles.
