	Uranium Glass from the Glass Encyclopedia
		During the latter part of the 19th century, glass containing uranium was made with heat sensitive chemicals which turned milky white when reheated, producing a shading effect from yellow to milky white at the edges.
		This kind of glass is often called vaseline glass today, because of its similarity to the ointment of that name (which used to be a yellowy colour).
		The description "uranium glass" is disliked by some glass collectors, especially in the USA, where the term "vaseline glass" is used to cover any kind of yellow or green glass which glows under ultra-violet light.

	The Glass Association - Uranium Glass
		With regard to uranium he states: “Its oxides impart bright colours to glass, which are, according to the proportions, brown, apple green, or emerald green”.
		From all this we conclude that the colouring properties of uranium were known early in the 19th century, but it was not until the second quarter of the century that it was marketed.
		The most likely explanation is that various scientists and glassmakers explored the use of uranium in the early part of the 19th century, and that during the second quarter of the century some items made from coloured uranium glass were being produced for sale.

	Uranium (fluorescent) and Vaseline Glass article from the Virtual Glass Museum
		When added to a glass mixture with a very high lead content (over 70% lead oxide) it produces a deep red colour (not a practical commercial proposition, however).
		During the latter part of the 19th century, some glass with uranium was made with heat sensitive chemicals which turned milky white when reheated, producing a shading effect from yellow to milky white at the edges.
		This kind of glass is often called "vaseline glass" today, because of its similarity to the ointment of that name (which used to be a yellowy colour, but nowadays is more or less white, just to confuse the glass collectors).

		Uranium is used as a coloring agent in the glass and ceramic glazes.
		It was discontinued from 1944 to 1958 due to a shortage of uranium caused by demand from the U.S. Government to build reactors and bombs.
		The uranium that was used during this last period was supposedly "de-enriched" by removal of the fissionable isotope, Uranium 235.

		This type of glass is sometimes referred to as "vaseline glass" in the UK and USA and as "Annagelb" (yellow) or "Annagruen" (green) in Germany.

	What is Vaseline Glass-Uranium Glass
		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.
		When manganese is added to the glass formula (which also makes a yellow-colored glass) instead of Uranium Dioxide, for instance, the end product will glow under a fl light, but the color is an orange/peach color OR a lime green color that is much fainter than the bright neon green under UV light.
		Vaseline Glass is not harmful, as the emissions from the glass are just slightly stronger than normal background radiation that we are all exposed to on a daily basis.

		Every form of glassware in various fluorescent shades of green and yellow was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries: Wine and liquor glasses, decanters, lampshades, bowls, figurines, even laboratory reagent flasks...Especially valuable were hand-blown glass pieces decorated with intricate engravings, etchings or hand-painted.
		The production of uranium glass has decreased in the last 50 years and is indeed now rare.
		Perhaps the largest collection of uranium glass in Germany is housed at the Bergbau and Industriemuseums Ostbayern Schloss Theuern and is owned by Dr. Ulrich Dollinger and consists of some 3000 pieces.

	All the Pages Are My Days :: Friday Glow Blogging: Uranium Glass
		Sometimes known as vaseline glass, depending on the color, uranium glass glows very brightly under long-wave ultraviolet lighting.
		A lot of this glass, part of the broader family known as depression glass, was manufactured in the Midwestern US between the 1920's and '40s.
		The addition of extremely minute amounts of uranium is what gives the glass its characteristic color in natural light; it's also what glows so very intensely under UV light.

	Vaseline Explanation And History
		Vaseline Glass was primarily made before WWII and one of the primary ingredients used to make the glass was uranium.
		The high energy emissions of electrons from the fl light cause the uranium oxide particles in the vaseline glass to become unstable thereby causing this fluorescense.
		Glass, being a solid, is a barrier or shield to radiation.

		Chrome green glass is a darker and greener color, and doesn't look like it's glowing by its own light like the uranium glass does.
