<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ce BCA, post: 4136942, member: 18716&quot;]I see this posted quite a bit these days, but it doesn&#039;t follow what I learned (admittedly many years ago).&nbsp; I seem to recall adding uranium salts makes glass go yellow, so true uranium glass is yellow.&nbsp; Green versions are made by adding iron or other oxides, so these are modified uranium glass.&nbsp; We always used to call vaseline glass the type which was greasy yellow toned - like petroleum jelly (where it gets it&#039;s name from).</p><p><br /></p><p>So I get that green glass isn&#039;t called vaseline as it should be the greasy yellow, but I don&#039;t get the green colour being called uranium glass as this should technically be yellow.&nbsp; Has something changed in the naming conventions as it seems a bit topsy-turvy to me?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
