Catchword: canary glass

Filed under: English

Part of speech: n.

Quotation: Vaseline glass wasn’t termed as such until 1950 when it had already become a collectible. Prior to that, it was called canary glass or uranium glass, but collectors didn’t think these terms correctly identified it. It was in the 1950s that a collector noted its color was similar to the petroleum jelly of the time and called it Vaseline glass.
