Friday June 24, 2022 Update

Summer officially started on Tuesday and all the graduates have had some time to enjoy new freedoms!

We hope everyone is able to stay cool and hydrated during these upcoming toasty days!

We have been working on many custom mirrors for our clients this week. When we think of mirrors, we often think of them being used in the restroom over our sinks. But they can be used in many ways around our spaces. They can be framed, as mirrored wardrobe doors, behind shelves, in alcoves, on dressers, and more. As there are no longer

***As a reminder, we will be closed next Friday July 1 through July 4, and will be back Tuesday, June 5.

Vaseline (Uranium) Glass Candlestick Repair

We repaired this Vaseline Glass candlestick holder after cleaning it up and putting the pieces back together using our UV curing adhesive. Vaseline glass is a type of Uranium glass with a yellow color to it. Uranium was added to glass as a colorant and can give it a yellow to green tint. It even fluoresces bright green under UV light! This piece is from the 1870’s , but it wasn’t until the 1920’s that the name Vaseline Glass gained popularity. It is used for the uranium glass with a yellow tint, but has also been known to be used as a name for any glass with a yellow coloring and not solely based on it containing uranium. These pieces are actually a little radioactive, although it is considered harmless do to it being trace amounts. It would even take a sensitive geiger counter to pick it up!
