Anyone know who the maker of this antique yellow cut glass vase might be? It is about 11" tall X 6.50" wide at the top rim. Any help will be much appreciated, THANKS

It looks chartreuse over here. Either way I love it.

Thanks for looking, an update on this piece is a fellow antique dealer suggested that it looks like it was made by Pairpoint  company in the Raise Diamond pattern.  I did google it and their  is a clear piece like it in the Corning Museum.  Still doing more homework on it and will keep you posted.

Also called Vaseline.

The normal colour of uranium glass ranges from yellow to green depending on the oxidation state and concentration of the metal ions, although this may be altered by the addition of other elements as glass colorants. Uranium glass also fluoresces bright green under ultraviolet light and can register above background radiation on a sufficiently sensitive Geiger counter, although most pieces of uranium glass are considered to be harmless and only negligibly radioactive. wiki

Also, only the yellow uranium glass is "Vaseline Glass", green is just green uranium glass Smiley Happy

THANKS for the information, my wife will freak out it if she thought it may be radioactive. I know I have had Vaseline glass over the years but none with this quality. thanks again
