    6.5" Tall, opalescent, previous owner says this is yellow Vaseline but it doesn't glow under a black light. They are pretty vases without any flaws but I can't pin down what company made fake Vaseline vases and the time period.

    Has anyone seen vases like these?

      I don't think you can "Fake" true yellow Vaseline glass for obvious reasons but reproductions of pressed glass patterns is commonplace. These quite interesting vases have a "Bleached" look to them. I don't think that they are reproductions.....I think they could be old and possibly made in England. I can't identify them at this time. Again, a very weird colour for glass!! BOB

      "Bleached" may explain the different coloration of yellow as it isn't solid. On the bottom under light the yellow looks rubbed off but you can't rub the color off with a finger or damp cloth. Thank you for your input.
