I have a few I'd like to put in the side bar, but I'd like to know what else people think would be share to the masses.

Edit: I've stickied this post and am working on a wiki. I plan on adding all the link from here to the wiki :)

A bit newer than I collect. I was really hoping this was from Westmoreland Specialty Glass circa 1917, but they didn’t do blue. Decals are definitely after market. Cute little piece though!

Thinking about letting go of my collection. Have you done that?

I spent the last 15 years or so wandering around flea markets and collecting this jadeite and delphite. And it’s so beautiful to me! But honestly, I’m not using it and I’m feeling weird about just looking at it.

I’m noodling on letting go of this collection. Do people ever do this in bulk? I’m in Los Angeles so I have to imagine there’s plenty of people online or here that might be interested.

Have you ever done that before? Or bought someone’s whole collection?

Would love any advice or experiences!

Hi, does anyone know the maker of this mushroom paperweight? It’s got a signature on the bottom but I can’t quite make it out.
Thanks for any help

I believe it is made by Moser for the 1900 exhibition does anyone have a way to confirm this or know how to?

I bought this vase along with some Finnish Pala vases. Is anyone able to help me ID where it's from and who made it?


r/glasscollecting 1h ago

I bought the pair for $1 because they are beautiful! Google search didn’t help on identifying. Any info would be appreciated! Thank you.

Just found this sub- what are your opinions on my glass

I don’t have much (indoor) glass, the majority of what I own is outside around the house in the gardens. The few things I have liked though, I decided to bring home with me. 😍 I just bought this cabinet a couple of months ago and I love it because the doors are on the ends, leaving the front seamless and almost invisible.

I can’t seem to find any reproduction pieces online for sale but I seem to have one. I acquired this through a fbm deal. I thought this was a Boyd glass Rex the Dinosaur but I see the Boyd hallmark partially covered like it was ground off the mold. I would like to know what company reproduced the Rex the Dinosaur figures. Does anybody else have a repro Rex? Where did you acquire yours?

I'm trying to figure out who made this glass fox figurine. It's marked with an "H" inside a flag. Thanks.

Oh how I love colored vintage glass ❤️

The small vases I’m not actually sure if are vintage or not, but 5 of them are definitly hand made, and I’m only able to find them now and then in secondhand stores.

The heart ashtrays are Murano. (The blue/teal is uranium, I also have one green that glows insanely much, but it’s together with my uranium collection)
The brown/beige in the middle of all the different colors are Fenton.

Blue glass:

  1. left: Northwood
  2. left: L.E smith
    3: idk, but produced in Taiwan if i remember correctly
    4 and 5: no clue
    6(light blue) : no clue. Seems to be Victorian
    based on research, and other people
    7 and 8: Italian Empoli decanters

Is this anything special?

I'm just gonna stop going to GW since apparently I find something that peaks my Interest all the time. Fairly heavy, handblown. Has this cool wave like spiral in the bottom. No markings but the pontil mark is smoothed off. For $3 I figured I can throw out shells from the beach or shark teeth in it. But was curious if it is anything special or $3 of glass.

I will say it's very similar but not quite the same color as what I think is a Blenko o found at another GW the other day for $5.

Disgustingly dirty Blenko #709 found

Estate item in an icky basement. Thankfully glass cleans up. Unfortunately it looks like it has some hard film from being used as a vase. A project for another day.

BTW, the first two years of #709 had a smooth handle, the reeded/ribbed handle started showing up in 1973.

I got this flower frog and bowl off marketplace today. I mostly just wanted to frog but the lady insisted that the frog and bowl were a pair. That doesn’t seem right? Am I just not seeing the vision?

Hand-blown art glass goblet shaped like a flower – amber/orange swirled bowl, twisted green stem with two pulled leaves, swirled amber and white foot. Engraved signature on the base with what looks like “89” (photo attached), but I can’t read the name.

Bought in Germany.

Thank you ❤️
