RE: Radioactive Green Dish - 11/27/2011 2:30:13 PM    epackage Posts: 9891 Joined: 5/3/2009 From: Jersey Status: online http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_glass Vaseline glass The most typical color of uranium glass is pale yellowish-green, which in the 1920s led to the nickname vaseline glass based on a perceived resemblance to the appearance of petroleum jelly as formulated and commercially sold at that time. Specialized collectors still define "vaseline glass" as transparent or semitransparent uranium glass in this specific color. "Vaseline glass" is now frequently used as a synonym for any uranium glass, especially in the United States, but this usage is not universal. The term is sometimes carelessly applied to other types of glass based on certain aspects of their superficial appearance in normal light, regardless of actual uranium content which requires a blacklight test to verify the characteristic green fluorescence. In the United Kingdom and Australia, the term "vaseline glass" can be used to refer to any type of translucent glass. Even within the United States, the "vaseline" description is sometimes applied to any type of translucent glass with a greasy surface lustre. < Message edited by epackage -- 11/27/2011 2:31:13 PM > _____________________________ I WANT PATERSON NJ BOTTLES !!

I am not sure if they even knew what they were protesting. My nuclear science prof silenced them one day by taking a Geiger Counter over to the glazing room of the art building. Most of the yellow and orange glazes contain uranium and the counter went crazy. In the art department you could get more exposure to radiation than was allowed in the nuclear science building. His favorite introduction to his classes and safety issues was to bring Fiesta Ware in class and set it next to a Geiger Counter. _____________________________ Always looking for veterinary bottles, American and foreign.
