Viking glass was one of the largest West Virgina glass companies before they went out of business in the 1980's. They produced a broad range of glass products which are now very collectible.
Viking-Glass.com is where we are building a website to help collectors identify and value viking glass items. We purchased a 1958 Viking Glass Co. catalog and will be scanning and publishing it on the site. The catalog pictures and pictures from current auction sales will help novice collectors identify what kind of Viking glass they have and provide a good estimate of value. Compared to many of the art glass categories Viking glass seems to be very "clean" with few irrelevant results from searches.
A few examples of Viking Glass Co. products are shown below.
Vaseline glass is made by adding uranium to the glass mix. It colors the glass yellow and it glows green under a black light. I have not shopped for them, but I would think a display cabinet which incorporated black lighting and a mechanism for moving vaseline glass pieces in and out of the light would be very interesting.
Vaseling-Glass.com is the website where we have started to publish pictures of vaseling glass. We have a few pieces we in our own collection and we will be incorporating pictures of those plus pictures and text from selected Ebay auctions into the website. By doing that we give novice collectors help quickly identifying the glass they have and a method to determine it's value.
Below are just a few of the current vaseling glass auctions.
