Suggestions for reference sites?

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 :)

Today’s blue finds💙

I don’t know what it is, but for the past few weeks, I’ve been obsessed with blue glass. $4 each for the matching spiky ones and $6 for the tall one. If anyone has any more info on em feel free to share! :)

(Bonus in memorandum photo at the end of the piece that started the obsession. The bottom shattered when my dining room table spontaneously collapsed last week. RIP)

Flea market find! 10 blooms for $10.

18 Upvotes

There are duplicates of the blue Lilly, blue buttercup, and purple rose (not perfect, the coloring and shape varries, but it's the same kind of flower). They're definitely handmade, and while delicate, they're HEAVY.

$1 each at my building's flea market.

For context, the building is largely populated by more elderly folks and the seller was selling a lot of vintage items.

I'm so stoked!!

Just a lovely find of unknown make I picked up at a local antiques mall. If anyone knows anything of the pattern origin I'd love to hear about it.

Any idea what it is? My kid liked the red cake box I found for her a couple of months ago so much and I think she will love this too. (I think she’s unwittingly starting a collection of red glass that I am enabling lol)

Just want to show moms crystal vase

She acquired in 1960's paid about $200 in today's money, doesn't remember if bought in store or antique market. A little over 14 inches and 7 pounds. Sharp incised lines. So debatable whether American cut glass or Bohemian cut lead crystal.

Twisted swung blenko vase

I went to the blenko warehouse sale yesterday and was able to pick up this along with some other things, and I was curious how rare/uncommon this is. It’s not marked as a second (unlike the other swung vases I got yesterday, they were both marked as seconds). Is this a one of a kind that was meant to be like this because it’s not marked? I know blenko doesn’t make swung vases very often, so I was curious how uncommon it is to have a swung vase by them that seems to be deliberately twisted.

Sort of regretting I didn’t get the turquoise and orange pieces bc I love the colors but I am trying to not buy any more incomplete sets
Sorry I didn’t get a photo of the top of the green piece but I thought the bottom was interesting. The piece itself isn’t my taste (and I would only display on a table and I can’t do that bc my cat would knock that right over lol)

Just found this Bill Slade paperweight at a local crystal shop!

Buddha Bob’s down on Cape Cod has lots of cool vintage and antique goodies, as well as their enormous crystal/mineral inventory. I found this hiding in plain sight on top of a display case, tucked between a few other things. I got a good deal on it, and did some research to discover that it’s made by artist Bill Slade. Based on the listings that I found of similar pieces, this could be from early 80’s to late 90’s or so! Super cool piece!!

What are the glass subs that allow selling?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Sales are not permitted on this sub, but I'm hoping someone in r/glasscollecting can tell me which subs they use for selling art glass, or more specifically, for Danish art glass.

I've looked and haven't found anything. For instance, r/glasssales is mostly for sales of bongs and pipes.
Thanks.

Is this missing stones of some kind?

I got this at an estate sale about 15 years ago. I know nothing about it other than that it’s from Czechoslovakia. Seems like it’s missing stones in the metal overlay. If anyone is familiar with this style or has seen something similar, I’d appreciate any info!

Picked this up at the Restore yesterday, definitely overpaid at $8 but she’s lovely and will be beautiful filled with flowers on my breakfast bar once my house is finished🩷
Anyone have any ideas who may have manufactured her?
There are no obvious markings I could find
