Uranium glass, often referred to as Vaseline glass due to its characteristic yellowish-green hue and the presence of uranium oxide, gained popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This glass type is known for its remarkable fluorescence under ultraviolet (UV) light, glowing a vibrant green. It was produced by numerous glass manufacturers, with Fenton Art Glass being one of the most prominent and prolific. Fenton Art Glass Company, founded in 1905 in Williamstown, West Virginia, became renowned for its innovative glass designs, including carnival glass, milk glass, and uranium glass. Their pieces often featured intricate patterns, hand-painted decorations, and unique finishes like satin or frosted. Bells, in particular, were a popular item, often adorned with floral motifs or other decorative elements, making them highly sought after by collectors.
