Vaseline glass is more often green!

There is Vaseline glass, which is when the color under normal light looks like Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. Then there is Uranium glass, which has a deeper, more emerald green look. Both will glow under black light due to the uranium content in the color mixture of the glass.

The first and last pics are of a uranium glass juicer. The second and third are of a Northwood Fluted Swirls Vaseline glass three footed dish.

very informative appreciate it dogaman

are both worth the same in price?

[Dogaman]

Sugar,

No. The juicer, depending on condition, runs below $40. I found it earlier this year on Ebay when it sold for $18.50 to $22.50.

The Northwood AKA “Jackson” was first advertised by Northwood in 1898, this vaseline bowl was made of uranium glass, producing a yellow opalescence that glows green under UV light.
The bowl is 8" across at its widest point, and stands 3 1/2" high. This scarce handgrip shape is also known as a card receiver from Victorian times. As of June this year, I found it selling on Ebay for $80.00.
