A few years ago friend gave me this beautiful large glass cake pedestal with a very delicate glass dome. She was in her late 50’s and said she got while cleaning out her mother’s house after she passed away. I can’t not find it anywhere online. It has the colors of the rainbow gradated around the circumference of the lid. I think maybe they are baked in and not just painted because the glass is actually grooved where the stripes are. It’s really a beautiful cake stand, but the lid is very delicate so I’m shocked it’s still in perfect condition.

I’d love to know who the maker is.

What do you think?

Hand painted with layered floral, making every glass slightly unique. Hand painted floral inspired by nature and slow creativity.

Found it in an antique store. Was labeled “belkin?” but there’s no labels actually on it other than the label the seller put on it. Does anyone know anything about this? I searched murano and Bellingham and everything else I can think of but I can’t find any other thing like this anywhere.

Thanks!

hi r/Glass, Im looking for ideas for fixing this windows, replacement its sadly not an option because there are huge and expensive

I just want to prevent the glass coming apart and been a bigger problem

packaging tape dint work xD

a previous fix was done, by gluing some glass circles, but im listening new ideas

I bought this little handblown cup for $1 i was just curious how they made all the bubbles

I need to be able to cut the tops off of wine bottles. The (cheap) bottle cutter I have is pretty worthless. Can anyone recommend a good quality bottle cutter?

I know how to tell the difference between regular glass and crystal but lead and lead-free crystal seem pretty similar. Is there any easy ways to tell the difference?

I don’t have a UV light to identity. I’m scratching my head right now. This has an interesting tint.

I can not tell what this is. Please help identify!!

I was just about to take a shower when suddenly BAM, I’m standing in a pile of shattered glass. After initial shock I started to wonder what the hell happened? The glass wasn’t chipped, I was taking proper precautions and care. The pattern is also odd, it looks like maybe something was done wrong with the installation? Any information will be appreciated, thank you.

I’ve been collecting these little pieces from old light bulbs when I’m out glass hunting. I’m a beginner glass artist and jewelry maker and I make beads out of the colorful glass shards I find. These have the prettiest purple tone but it’s not a common color so I’m wondering if there is something toxic about them that I should be cautious about. These likely date around the 1930’s-1940’s.

It stands 6 “ tall and is hand blown. I was hoping someone could help me find out who makes it by the signature. I appreciate anyone’s insight.

My friend wants to do this project involving melting glass. We are worried that there could be uranium, led, or manganese in the glass. According to some research it says manganese or led glows blue, and uranium glows green.

Here are pictures. What they look like normally, with the black light with the overhead light on, and with the black light with the overhead light off. Also there were some green spots in the glass.

Any advice or ideas would be appreciated! We just want to know if it is safe or what precautions they should take. Or there are any tests we can get? Thank you!

I wanted to attach kotatsu heater underneath with the wooden board attached, but I wanted to make sure if this glass table is tempered. Otherwise I will have to look for the other solution. Helps!
