Uranium Jar csbh

Uranium glass, also known as Vaseline glass, is a type of glass that contains uranium dioxide, which gives it a distinctive yellow-green color and the ability to glow under ultraviolet light. It was popular from the mid-19th century through the early 20th century, with production peaking during the Art Deco era.

The small amount of uranium used in the glass is not considered harmful, and the glass is collected for its unique aesthetic properties. These jars were often used for storing food items or as decorative pieces. The presence of uranium in the glass makes it a collectible item, especially if it exhibits a strong glow under UV light.
