Vaseline Glass Service Set with National Star Pattern

A lovely early 4 part mold gilded Vaseline glass table service set. The National Star pattern (#508) was made by Riverside Glass Works (America) in 1900. This table set includes a well-preserved covered butter dish, a covered sugar bowl with minor gold wear and a creamer with major gold wear. The glass has no chips or cracks, no staining…glass is in excellent condition. The gold decor has worn (expected). The creamer has the most gold wear with approx. 40% remaining. The sugar bowl and lid have about 60% of the original gold. The large covered dish has an amazing 90% original gold. The gold rim on the plate is nearly perfect. Made in heavy uranium glass (Vaseline glass) with a four part mold. The glass is a light yellowish green. Rare as a set. Rare as gilded Vaseline glass.

Riverside’s National Star pattern is usually found in gilded clear glass, or clear glass with ruby stain. This pattern is documented to be made in Vaseline glass by Riverside, but not gilded Vaseline.
