I think I agree and lean more to a vanity dish with it's ornate work.
Okay, I am dying to do this....Many of the early depression glass pieces when put up to a black light will appear to glow. However, when Vaseline glass is put up to a black light - it is as if you plugged in an extension cord and the piece itself lights up with a fluorescent glow - . The following site shows pics of Vaseline glass in regular sunlight - click on the pics and they will display picture of them under black light!!!
http://www.vaselineglass.org/blacklight.htmlFor those newbies that don't know what Vaseline Glass is - As per the Vaseline Glass Collectors, Inc., (VGCI), " There are different definitions of what is or is not "vaseline glass," depending on what part of the world you are located. Our organization uses this definition: 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. The addition of the Uranium Dioxide makes the glass color yellow-green. Vaseline Glass is ALWAYS verifiable by using an ultraviolet light (blacklight) on the glass item. When this is done, the glass turns a bright florescent green! Sometimes, even the most trained eye can be fooled by a piece of glass that looks like Vaseline Glass, but will not 'glow' or fluoresce bright green under a blacklight. Not all yellow-green glass will turn florescent GREEN when a UV light is shined on it. 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 black 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. Manganese was added to the glass mixture to counteract the minor traces of iron that would give the glass a 'coke-bottle' greenish tint to it."
Test on Friday! LOL
