Identification Help - Manganese, Neodymium, Reproduction, Other

Okay so a couple of things here. I found these all together for $5 at goodwill total. My first thought was neodymium, and I was super stoked. Moving them from inside Goodwill fluorescent lights, to outside, to in my home, I've seen no color change so I'll rule that out.

Now I love vintage glassware first and foremost, and here and there I'm okay with later reproduction as long as I like it ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯, and I have a feeling these could be but want some help. Most have a seam, which tells me it's molded. The oil-like-pitcher to the far left has a seam and a pontil. I did check with a 365, they do all have manganese in them. I've read (just today found out) about sun-affected clear glass with manganese pieces that turns light purple. My issue is that the pieces to me feel newer, but then again manganese isn't often used in "newer" glass anymore. When I say newer I personally am referring to post 1980s. Google lens (I know not the most reliable) was telling me the thin glass (2nd over to the left) is Fostoria. It's so thin it almost feels like plastic but it's not.

Out of all of them, the single salt shaker is my favorite. If anyone has any ideas please feel free to share💜

You already know what I'm going to ask. Scotch Bonnet?

From what I've read from the numerous Jamaican mushroom posts on here this year, I feel I may have lucked out? Give me your opinion

First Hen! Finally!

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!

Pleasantly surprised today

So I saw the horse at a garage sale and before even pulling out my light I'm thinking "oh there's no way, that has to be uranium". Only 4 bucks, I could not pass it up! The figurines I always see on here but every time I see them in the thrift they don't glow. I was at a charity thrift store and to my surprise found not one, but two!! A dollar each?? And the console bowl (had to look that up on here lol) really nice estate sale for 15 bucks. I was not expecting to find anything today, but the horse is now one of my favorite pieces 🐎

I couldn't pass this one up

So I wasn't even in the market for a mixer. I have an old fashioned hand mixer and don't bake too often. When I was young though I thought one of those kitchen aid mixers would be cool.

Nonetheless, I was actually searching for uranium at my thrift store, and I always skip the kitchen appliance section. I come across these beautiful white glass bowls and realize it's an old Hamilton Beach in perfect condition. I'm wary and I went to the testing strip, everything works phenomenally, from the timer to all the settings. I'm an old fashioned person and this piece is perfect for my home. Well made, reliable, and beautiful.

Only paid 20 bucks, which to me is very worth it. Been meaning to post for a hot minute now 😁

Two Of A Kind

I really wanted to partake in the monthly theme and I'm glad I had the time to! This would be not including plate doubles, or the one set of cups I have, simply two will do 😄 All of these came in pairs except for the Hazel Atlas bowls which were near each other in timing. Enjoy 💚

Ceramic Glaze? I'm stumped

I'm a little stumped here, I noticed this tea cup and saucer at an estate sale, and none of the others around it had the same effect. I noticed there was much more of a glow with the 365nm (1st photo, I would say it's a tiny pinch more grinch-green than what my phone picked up) and opposed to the 395nm (2nd photo).

I looked it up online and read different things with the little information I could find on it. If anyone has any idea I would be very grateful, thank you!
