Pair of bud vases

These vases have an organic and sinuous design.

'Vaseline glass', made in Stourbridge, West Midlands, about 1880

'Vaseline glass' has a cloudy yellow-green colouring, similar to Vaseline. It was made by adding a small amount of uranium to the glass mixture during production. These bud vases are made in the form of twining branches.

Given by Mrs A M Bollens, 1954
