r/manganeseglass

Just wanted to share this cool upcycle I made

Picked a few up at an estate sale and a couple at a local antique store!

Managed to haggle for this lovely rooster and bring it home with me. A new favourite piece.

It’s heavy

So from spending time here and on other glowing glass subs I learned about the different colors and additives and all, and discovered peach manganese.

I genuinely love it, it’s probably my favorite glow color.

But at one point a few months ago someone engaged with a comment I had made regarding peach manganese vs selenium that peach manganese is essentially only something in this sub and that “in all their reading and research they’ve never come across any indication of it anywhere but here”

I was intrigued. I asked for follow up information sources because I, too, want to know more. And they never replied back.

I had meant to go back after a week or two and poke them again because I know people are busy and not everyone is on Reddit as often as I am but then I forgot and I’m not going digging through my own comment history for them so I figured I’d make my own post.

So thats it - I’m here asking the good people of manganeseglass who know more than I do for sources of trustworthy written information about glass additives and the legitimacy or non legitimacy of peach manganese glass, as the case may be

(For engagement this is a photo of two of my favorite “manganese” pieces, a peach candy bowl and a standard lime nappy dish)

Put the glass back out for this year's round of solarization now that the nights are 40° or higher, some of it is looking pretty good :)

I snatched this whole box so fast. 28 dollars is a steal!

I think it’s Empoli but missing its lid. And it’s gorgeous 🥰 FYI, the glow pic is under 365 light so I think it’s manganese. Not much glow under 395.
