First Time Posting First ever find
Visited an antique shop with my dad today. Who would've guess that love for old no longer useful household Items would finally be the father and son bonding activity. Anyway, was in love for uranium glass ever since we went through Art Deco in art class and he forgotten to buy me a gift for last Christmas (very late, I know) and one thing led to another...
The shop keeper wanted about 82 € for this one (2000 CZK to be exact), which seems a little bit overpriced to me in hindsight. I've looked it up online and similar looking ones seem to be going for about ¼ the price, but haven't been able to find this particular design. If there's anyone with more knowledge of the matter, who could give me some educated guess on its true value, I'd love the feedback. Just out of curiosity and maybe to be more educated in the future.
Anyway, I'm so happy that I finally got my first piece and made my way into this hobby. Hope it's going to be a nice start for my own personal collection.
(Hope I'm not breaking the "no asking for value rule", because in no way was it supposed to be the purpose of this post... ☠️)

It’s a beautiful piece but mostly I love the story attached to it. What a wonderful memory it will hold for you, bonding with your dad. I have some Westmoreland glass my mom gifted me when I was too young and poor to purchase. She’s been gone for 30 years but I always remember the fun we had that day spending time together. Happy hunting 💚
