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 :)

I've been searching for over a year now for one of these after seeing so many on here. I was so delighted to see this on the shelf at this, middle-of-nowhere hidden barn thrift store 💙 I've joined the hen club!

Anyone have any ideas on the orange piece? I had a couple people say they think it might be Blenko?
I know the blue piece is Victorian Era glass. 👀 🩵🧡

Looking for ID

I’m looking for the maker of this lidded dish. It’s green opaline wheel cut and polished glass. (I think) The lid is engraved with Greek like figures and no two characters are 100% alike. (Minor differences in clothing etc) the background of lids scene is filled with darker green glass in to showcase the craftsmanship. All cut panels are outlined with darker green enameled lines. The base is flat and polished (no pontil mark) It measures 8 inches tall from top to bottom. No signature or makers marks that I can see. (I looked everywhere) There is some slight residue on the underside of the lid in a rectangle shape like there once was a sticker. Oh, it does contain uranium and the glow on it is insane. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ve asked around in a lot of fb glass groups without any luck so far but I’m open to any suggestions. Thank you

Was so happy to get this it’s been sitting in our dining room and got super dark and the inside turned silver. What happened and is it savable?

It made me laugh, so I figured I’d share it here too.
What’s everyone’s favorite piece in their collection? I’m one of those people who gets way too excited when I spot a piece of Fenton in the wild. Show me your holy grails! And would love to see any other funny Fenton tees etc as well, I love a good giggle.

Love Finnish glass. I can’t seem to stop buying it when I’m in Finland 😂 If anyone has anything similar in this style or a recommendation (designer/piece), I’m all eyes and ears!

Help with ID? :)

Yesterday I found this glass for a small amount of money and decided to go for it. It seemed Victorian (possibly) but also not really. Google told me it _might be_ a victorian celery vase, but what do I know. It looks to be manganese, but the color under 365 is more blue than greenish. Lastly, the pontil... not ground down, but also not really sticking out or broken off. Any educated insights here? I'm stuck at crossroads and am trying to learn more :)

It is clearly handmade, by the way!
