    It's about 7" tall with stopper. Mold blown with pontil mark. I found the same one with gold on Pinterest with a link to a Ruby Lane shop which no longer exists so I can't find out any information about age/manufacturer/price.

    Any help would be appreciated. thanks! aaaaaDSC06120 (2).jpg

    These are pressed upside down allowing the formation of a smooth neck. When the plunger is withdrawn addition umpatterned glass is left as part of the sides. This is tooled over to shut the bottom and any excess is cut off. It is called cut/shut and the remaining mark is often confused with a pontile mark. Nice cruet but looks newer to me.

    Remember this rhyme, "If it's green, it ain't Vaseline". Vaseline glass is yellow, the color of old Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. Green glass that glows under blacklight is green uranium glass :)

    Hi Marie,
    This is definitely vaseline. Vaseline glass is a yellowish green think chartreuse. If just yellow it is yellow if it has a greenish cast to the yellow it is vaseline. Otherwise your rhyme is perfect.

    Steven, this probably doesn't help you one iota, but I saw one on Google Images that I thought looked like yours, but with a bit of gold "accent" added.

    Unfortunately, it was a dead link with absolutely no info about it:

    I just gotta add this. Made in 1999 in the old Riverside plant, marketed by National Glass Co. Just to keep the record straight.

    which is why I noted maker as National/Riverside. Technically this would be considered as made by National as the contractual owner of the molds at the time (considering National had assumed ownership of Riverside at the given date of manufacture c1899). Had Riverside survived the demise of the National 'experiment' one might have more grounds to claim 'made by Riverside'; but given the contractual relationship, this should be considered made by National at their Riverside plant.

    Maybe my screen is showing it as more plain green than yellow green :)
