[color=#000000]The former owner of these lovely 6.5″ tall vases claims these are Yellow Vaseline Vases. At the time, I did not have my black light with me and probably should not have bought them. But that’s beside the point.
Can Vaseline ever loose it’s opalescent value? Does anyone know who and what time period a company that made look-alike Vaseline? One vase weight 8.0 oz, and are 3/16 of an inch thick. The design reminds me of pressed cut glass. Any help will be appreciated. Judy of NookCove

thank you for your reply. I did test with the black light and nothing as I suspected. As you can tell I’m not familiar with glassware so I took the vases to the local antique dealer who thought it to be some kind of slagware.
There are no manufacturing marks on the bottom of the stems so I am thinking it could be a later manufactured glassware.
It makes sense that it is some sort of slagware because the colorations is uneven and is in the glass itself..
Now for my ignorance on the subject–what is EAPG? Haven’t researched the acronym yet but will.
Again, Many thanks for your reply.
