I have no idea of the age of these pieces. I don’t think they are very old and I haven’t spent much time trying to identify them. My husband was more interested in them than I, although they do have a nice hand feel to them.
Although some people are very attracted to vintage/antique Vaseline glass, it has never really been an interest of mine.
Here is an interesting online article on the history of Vaseline glass and its composition.

This seven inch bowl is a pretty green. It is vaseline glass, and glows quite brilliantly under black light. Of course, who has black light in their house all the time?
The plate etch showcases some large flowers.
The Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum has a photo of a pink bowl with this etch and refers to it as line 310-1/2. The legs on this piece are different so I don’t know if it is the same line.
The green is very pretty.

Powder jars have come and gone from my household. But Spike has hung around for awhile now. Don’t know if it is the “cheery” 🙁 look on his face, or the pretty green colour.
This is a smaller jar with a width of 4 1/2 inches. But…it is a solid 5 inches tall to the top of Spike’s head.
There is another L.E. Smith dog powder jar with the bulldog sitting, but I like this guy.
