A beautiful Victorian uranium Vaseline glass jam or sugar pot, complete with its original EPNS silver-plated stand and matching lid by H&L Glasgow.

The striking translucent glass body displays the distinctive bright green Vaseline colouring prized by collectors, while the elegant silver-plated mount takes the form of naturalistic branches and leaves, creating a wonderfully organic Art Nouveau-inspired appearance.

The stand incorporates shaped handles, floral detailing and a decorative leaf-form base which perfectly complements the vibrant glass vessel.

Produced by H&L Glasgow, this charming table piece reflects the late nineteenth-century fascination with decorative dining wares that combined practical function with artistic craftsmanship.

The vivid uranium glass glows brilliantly under ultraviolet light, adding an extra dimension of interest for collectors of Vaseline and uranium glass.

Whether used as a display piece, incorporated into a collection of Victorian glass, or showcased amongst silver-plated tablewares, it remains a particularly attractive and unusual example.
