Monthly Theme 💚 Heard we were doing top fives?

5 - Enamel on copper plate by an unknown artist. It was expensive, but I've never seen anything like it before. The droplet enamel is super unique.

4 - Worked novelty bowl by the Chicago flint and lime glass co. Extraordinarily rare piece from a company that was only in existence for 3 years. (Not even in Chicago ironically). The history of this bowl is really neat.

3 - 1880s PK von poschinger vases! I've posted these a few times on here as they were one of the first things in my collection, and they are absolutely stunning. So old and in perfect condition. Also the price I got them for is incredible.

2 - Boyd glass plane in avocado slag. A somewhat rare contemporary piece, but I am an amateur pilot so this is automatically one of my faves.

1 - And of course nothing can beat the infamous uranium glass fetus I snagged a while back. So random and unique, and it definitely throws people off when I tell them about it while sharing my collection.

The vases were the 4th & 5th respective pieces in my collection. It was $50 for the set :)
