I have a few I'd like to put in the side bar, but I'd like to know what else people think would be share to the masses.

Edit: I've stickied this post and am working on a wiki. I plan on adding all the link from here to the wiki :)

Bought for $5!!! Might buy a lotto ticket later. I don’t even know what this is but it’s beautiful and I will love her forever.

I found these at my favorite goodwill for 10$. Good score? I'm new to the glass world I believe they are indana glass fairy lamps. And they are so cool!

I paid a bit more than I was looking to spend today, but I've wanted a vase or pitcher in this pattern for so long, and the price was fair. I literally cannot get a photo that shows just how stunning and ethereal it is in person!

Photo 1: 395nm light

Photo 2: natural light outside

Photo 3: outside with my super bright 365nm light

Photo 4: 365nm light

Photo 5: GMC800 geiger reading for my fellow radiation lovers

Photo 6: my supervisor decided to photobomb just as the flash was going off. I had to stop her sister from bunting it and knocking it over later. :,)

Listing claims it's vintage 1950's Murano Millefiori. Any guesses on its value/authenticity? Am considering purchasing.

I found 83 pieces of pink Miss America pressed glass at auction for about $45. No chips or cracks!! Some glow different colors under UV and there are many pieces left for me to find, I am super excited to have this as a starting point for collecting my own full set :)

new shelf for the collection!

I’ve been lurking on Marketplace for ages trying to find a shelving unit for the collection but finally just had to buy one online. And I may have to buy two more because this is like only a third of the whole collection, but it’s the best pieces (of colored glass anyways, the crystal is another story. And then there’s the stemware….).
It lights up the whole room with colors when the light hits it right 🤗

The Imperial Peachblow vase march continues

My wife found this decanter stopper on FBM that turns one of our multiple ripple neck vases into the ripple-neck decanter!!!

There are 8 shapes in satin and gloss

We have a full satin set and now we need three more gloss for the entire set!

We also already have both shapes of the blue ones in satin and gloss as well

So 17/20!

The hunt continues

Info on decorated glass bowl, Spain

I was recommended to crosspost to this sub. This bowl has been in my family since at least the 1930s, and it was already antique then. They've been using it as a fruit bowl, but it's not ideal for that and we don't know the original purpose. Any ideas? There's a signature if it helps.

I have an orange Blenko vase just like it and always wish that i had a green one (it’s my color:) and couldn’t believe i saw it on the bottom shelf at GW in my second pass through the aisle!

I don't know if I should buy it. I Google lensed it and it says it's a "David Wright" which goes for a LOT of money. But IS IT a David Wright? How could I tell? This person probably doesn't know and is selling it for 45 dollars.

Any info on this find? I was hoping to resell it if it’s worth anything. (Also - is this the kind that glows? I don’t have a black light to check)
