I had discussions with a professor some years ago - he was the inventor of the Geiger Mueller tube (for detecting radioactivity). He told me that vaseline glass was not "dangerous" at all - and that brazil nuts were actually more radioactive.

I'm no scientist, but my understanding has always been that vaseline glass (in the form in which we have it as glass) is not "dangerous" in any way.

Hi,
The pitcher is almost certainly Israeli. Ruthven perhaps.
Of the others, I can't say.
Max, Leni, convince this gal, she'a natural-born glassaholic Texas chapter founder member. :lol:  :lol:
There's some interesting-looking pieces in the back-grounds of these images.
Thanks for the tantalising glimpses Linda,
Regards,
Marcus

LeCasson,
Do you mean the first pitcher?  It has a gold sticker saying Israeli, and another member here told me it was most likely put on there to decieve

Yes, I have certainly become a "glassie", "glassoholic", and I am loading some pics of the other glass, just in case you want to see.......hee hee.
Of all the many antiques that has befallen me, the glass is by far my favorite.  There is a vast amount, and it is very intimidating and overwhelming.  I feel this way, probably, because I recognize the daunting responsibility I have to these wonderful pieces of history!  As I have told Max and Leni, I can't imagine being without this obsession!!!  There is loads of Ivory, Jewlery, Wall Art, an immense amount of Asian Art, Ephemera, you name it, these gals probably collected it.  What I recieved is the leftovers, at that, after everyone got what they wanted.  I have wondered if some was in some kind of retail setting, and some have auction tags on them.  This is truly a labor of love.  (but I am retired, clocked out, off duty!!!)  just kidding, I'll see it thru.
I will be back later, Hubby wants fish for supper, and I get out of cooking!

You people make me feel great!  Thanks
Linda
