Sunday night auction win on a single $2 bid. Apparently neither the auction house or anyone watching noticed the Fenton empress rose daffodil vase. The lot was just labeled 'Decrative Glass' 😃
I have a smaller, 3 compartment, one of these in green uranium, but was super excited to run across this piece. 8" across.
We had a fun afternoon wandering a large antique mall and this was her pick. 1997 Fenton dusty rose poppy overlay iridescent basket. I know some folks don't like the idea of picking your own gift, but we have a great time hunting together and she came home happy. Great taste, beautiful piece.
Have to show off this beautiful piece. Picked up this Westmoreland 1048 Argonaut candy dish at a local auction yesterday. I’ve seen them in several colors before, slag, milk glass, iridescent, etc but this one was special. It’s the first I’ve ever seen with the mother of pearl iridescence and pastel painted shells. Trying to track down details, because it seems so unique. I’ve only found two references online.

My favorite find from yesterday. Love this shade of green.
While on a work trip in Georgia last week, a coworker invited me to see his neighbor's glass collection. I can't even begin to describe how many cool pieces they had. One curio cabinet after another of green ug, vaseline, custard, Burmese etc.. More than I've ever imagined in a private collection. Couldn't resist snapping a photo of this giant to share.
