This charming vaseline glass open salt cellar set in a silver-plated metal stand features a hand painted figure, possibly a fairy or cupid, which was a popular style, particularly with Bohemian and Czech glassmakers like Heinrich Hoffman.
Vaseline glass contains uranium oxide, a common colorant in glass from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This type of glass is famously known to glow a vibrant green under an ultraviolet (black) light, but also beautiful in its own right without being illuminated.
Fantastic condition, no chips, breaks or repairs.
3.5 inches (8.5cm) dia X 3 inches (8cm) height approx
All items are sensitively and minimally cleaned
Any questions please don't hesitate to drop me a message. I am very happy to pass on any additional information, or images you may need, if you are interested in more than one item I can arrange a combined postage price.
All items will be packaged using recycled or reused materials to help minimise any environmental impact.
Please be aware that you are purchasing a vintage item. We mention any obvious defects to the glass such as chips, cracks, etc. in our description but there may also be minor manufacturing faults eg. marks from the mould, straw marks and air bubbles, which is normal for glass of this era.
Just a quick note to all our American customers, we are up to speed on all the new import tariff changes, please feel confident with continuing to order from us, with Royal Mail any excess tariff charges are paid at point of purchase, this insures our customers have no nasty customs costs, we are here to answering any questions you may have, thank you, Kirsty
