Italian Murano Vaseline Glass Duck
This awesome Murano Cenedese cased vaseline glass duck was made in the early 1950s by the Italian Cenedese glass makers, co-owed by Alfredo Barbini. The brightly colored inner casing is a Barbini trademark in his figurines. This large duck has no label, but is verified Cenedese, 1950s. The center casing is vaseline glass, creating a fantastic eye treat.
Vaseline glass is glass that is made with uranium salts and emits a green glow when under a UV or black light. The above photos show how this duck beautifully glows under a black light.
This crooning vaseline glass duck measures 6.75″ tall, about 9″ wide and weighs over 2.5 lbs.
