They’re asking $750. Do I go buy? I am not trying to ask what this collection is worth, I am really just trying to figure out if I should go pick up someone’s already selected collection or if I should join the thrill of hunting and build up my collection slowly. Really considering going to get…. I’m new to collecting, only have two pieces so far….
Was at a local antique mall and found this with a display of peach colored Carnival glass. It looked odd so I hit it with my light and was SHOOK. The seller must not have checked it. Only $12! I've never seen glass this color glow like this.
13 inches tall. I shine my light on everything, and I didnt think this would glow. Shined my light and ding ding ding ding, we have a winnah. Gorgeous piece. Asking price was 83 dollars. I made an offer and they called the seller and they accepted my offer. One of my largest pieces. No markings other than a circle on the bottom.
One of my first Orient and Flume blind-buy fails. It's not uranium glass, but what is it? It has a weird, sickly manganese glow in 365nm. I accidentally noticed it changed colors when I walked past my fluorescent bug light. Is this praseodymium glass? The color change is so bright, it almost looks like it's glowing! 😎
Picked this beauty up at an Antique store for $120. Not sure if that is a good price but it is beautiful!
I went thrifting yesterday. Most of the time I find nothing when going to thrift stores. The few times I do find uranium glass at thrift stores I’ll find some plain green cups or plates. But this time I found this incredible Murano vaseline figurine and it was on sale! Yeah a piece of the tail is chipped off but I can’t complain for paying so little for a Murano. Even though thrift stores can be pretty unreliable when it comes to finding unique uranium glass if any uranium glass at all, just goes to show that you gotta be patient when fishing if you wanna catch something good. Literally my greatest thrift score yet!
The three small and one large bowl are the newest additions (didn't have enough space to put the paperweight on the same shelf😭)
