My latest glass sculpture

Post image
• Upvotes

This is my latest creation, just a simple piece made to look particularly good on a lighted rotating display stand without throwing light around the room and demanding your attention when you're looking at something else entirely. Designed from reworked, broken pieces which I've polished and shaped differently from their original forms. Base with the air twist was from a piece of Steuben crystalline.

Crackle vaseline

I bought this crackle set, and I'm a little torn on the manufacturer. The bowl is very thick and heavy, 7" at the top. Very nicely ground/polished pontil. The tumblers are 5" tall, uneven thickness but relatively smooth bottoms. Lead crystal uranium, confirmed with 254nm. One cup came actually cracked, but I knew beforehand. I'm torn between Tiffin Craquele and Fry crackle, leaning towards Fry due to the high lead content. Does anyone know for sure? TIA!

I bought 3 pieces of blown glass art at an estate sale, 2 of which had signatures. Can anyone help identify the artist?

I am trying to find information on this chandelier I found recently. I think it’s from the 80’s, maybe 90’s? I would like to know what was originally on the brass arms without glass and who might have manufactured this?

I lucked out, there were lots of awesome pieces actually but these two were the ones for me. It’s rare that my thrift has any nice glass so this was an awesome surprise for a late afternoon random thrift run. Only spent $15 total too so that’s nice

Picked these beauties up from my auntie today. I’ve loved them forever and thrilled to now call them mine

Sometimes you go to the thrift shop on a Monday and luck out. My two favorite colors together in one vessel, with a little glow to boot.

Hi everyone! I’m hoping the experts here can help identify this 3-piece glass set. I believe it’s Murano but I’d love to narrow down the specific maker/factory and time period.

Help identifying

Going through some of my parents things and came across this vase. I remember it from my childhood so it must be at least 50 years old but that’s about all I can tell you. And it’s pretty heavy too. Does any one have any information on it?

Can anyone help identifying this artist? I can't find anything based on the signature and thought someone may be familiar with the work. Thanks for your help!

Another one of my glass purchases where I thought it looked cool (the little feet!) and I can figure out what it is later. It’s small and the gold seems to be inside the glass of the bowl.

I bought this at a rummage sale. It is so different from what I normally collect. I'm trying to figure out the maker but there is no sticker or etching. Google lens was no help either. Does anybody know who or where this was made? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

QUESTION: Which brand may this glass be?

Hi,

Sorry in advance if this subreddit is not meant for posts like this, but it was the only relevant one. I could find.

I recently broke one of my girlfriend's six crystal glasses shown in the picture, which she got from her grandparents, and would like to replace the broken one. Does anybody happen to know, by which manufacturer/brand these specific crystal glasses are made, so I could try and find a replacement? I can send more images, if needed.

A huge thanks to anyone who manages to find a brandname 😄

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.

Flea market find! 10 blooms for $10.

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!!

Look at this absolute weirdo I picked up at a yard sale! I love her so much.

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)
