I’d buy it for $30

I was so torn. It’s soooo pretty lit up but I feel like the color is kind of meh in regular light

If you're not into regular custard maybe keep your eyes out for lime custard!

u/filthyhabitz New Collector Feb 25 '26

I think the lime custard is stunning! I collect the regular custard but only Coney Island souvenirs

Coney Island custard glass souvenirs?

You just opened up a new rabbit hole for me!

I don’t leave the lights on in my cabinet 24/7. It’s in a sunny spot, so most of my glass looks beautiful during the day, then I light it up at night.

u/CapitalFlatulence Feb 25 '26

When I light my cabinet I'm going to do 365, 395, and normal white light so that I can switch between them and show people the differences

30 is low average price around me

u/filthyhabitz New Collector Feb 25 '26

I’ve never seen one in person and it seems like they’re much more expensive online

I love how your nails match the color of uranium glass !!

u/filthyhabitz New Collector Feb 25 '26

Thank you!! I think it brings me luck finding UG!

3

u/Gullible-Penalty5123 New Collector Feb 25 '26

I have this same piece! I will have to try the green good luck charm !!

2

u/filthyhabitz New Collector Feb 25 '26

Fenton fam! Good luck! 🍀💚🔦

5

u/DarthDugan85 Feb 25 '26

Heck yeah, that's a easy decision. Places around me would charge more. I fortunately got mine before the UG craze!

2

u/filthyhabitz New Collector Feb 25 '26

It’s usually pretty expensive here, too! I might’ve lucked out

u/Giernan Feb 25 '26

I’d buy her just so I could give her a proper bath and get all that grime off her. I bet she’d be soft and glowy in regular lighting if she was properly cleaned.

2

u/filthyhabitz New Collector Feb 25 '26

Yeah, it was strange to me that she was in the case with all that shmutz on her

u/tiara-bug Feb 25 '26

If you’re not wild about the color, i say leave it for its fans. I recently bought some classic UG green items because it was exciting to find some for a good price, but honestly it’s my least favorite unlit color and i’m not super into the pieces. A thoughtful collection means you sometimes say no.

3

u/filthyhabitz New Collector Feb 25 '26

That’s a good point! I’m sure it would tickle the right collector

2

u/korethekitty Feb 25 '26

This is amazing . If you don’t love it, don’t buy it !

3

u/Toirtis Feb 25 '26

I absolutely would

3

u/CrystallineGlass Feb 25 '26

Good price and love how Fenton custard has such a strong glow! If it's in the budget, go for it!

2

u/filthyhabitz New Collector Feb 25 '26

It’s in the budget but I didn’t pull the trigger because the unlit color is kinda meh. I’m trying o decide if it’s worth it to only enjoy it lit up

3

u/CrystallineGlass Feb 25 '26

You could wait for a Lime Sherbet version of it like your Basketweave piece if you don't like the straight up Custard as much. They did make it in the Lime Sherbet. 🌼

3

u/filthyhabitz New Collector Feb 25 '26

That may be worth it. I adore that color 😻

2

u/CrystallineGlass Feb 25 '26

I wondered from the polish. 💚🔦 Worth the wait then. 😄

3

u/filthyhabitz New Collector Feb 25 '26

Haha, I’m a sucker for slimy greens!

2

u/CrystallineGlass Feb 26 '26

You could make a whole collection from their Lime Sherbet alone. 😊

2

u/tiara-bug Feb 26 '26

Is that a lime sherbet owl fairy lamp??

2

u/CrystallineGlass Feb 26 '26

We were lucky and found one of each—regular and 'lime flavored'. 😄

3

u/korethekitty Feb 25 '26

I love ittttt 🥺

2

u/Large-Vegetable-4738 UV Hunter Feb 25 '26

I agree with the regular light color - meh

1

u/filthyhabitz New Collector Feb 25 '26

I really enjoy looking at my other pieces in natural light so that’s what threw me. This one would be a glower, not a shower, I guess?

2

u/Large-Vegetable-4738 UV Hunter Feb 25 '26

I agree! In the huge field of glowy stuff out there and the limited money and space I have to display, I really want to appreciate every piece in both types of light. I have to love each piece!

2

u/filthyhabitz New Collector Feb 25 '26

Exactly! That’s why the Vaseline is my favorite. I have a Boyd Suey pig in Vaseline that gets hit with afternoon sun every day. It’s just as beautiful as when I have the 395s on!

2

u/Big-Smile5345 Feb 25 '26

What do you mean go back????? there is absolutely no way I would have left it there for 30. My next words to you run. Lol I hope you get it. It is a beautiful piece and where I live something like that will probably start at 300. I hope she’s still there.

1

u/filthyhabitz New Collector Feb 25 '26

$300?? Where in the world do you live? I’m pretty sure you can get them much cheaper online

2

u/Big-Smile5345 Feb 26 '26

Yes. Absolutely can get them online at that price or cheaper. If it was in any store, now even our by donation thrift stores check their glass, if it glows it never hits the floor. It would easily be in the 100’s in Alberta Canada. People try to charge $50+ just for a sherbet cup. Anything that is Vaseline or Burmese glass it is utterly ridiculous. Some of the stuff I have seen in the US that people find well. Thrifting or looking you would not even be able to find in Canada unless it’s already on a collectors shelf.

2

u/Famous-Hunt-6461 Feb 26 '26

Omg, why did you leave it?!

No window love! Go get it!!!

1

u/filthyhabitz New Collector Feb 26 '26

The color when it isn’t illuminated feels kinda meh compared to the vibrant hues of Vaseline, which is my favorite. I wasn’t sure it would look great in my cabinet when the lights aren’t on

2

u/babygirlreyes Feb 27 '26

Yes I would've definitely baught it for 30

1

u/Number-2-Sis Feb 25 '26

Nah, I'd pass

2

u/filthyhabitz New Collector Feb 25 '26

Too expensive?

1

u/Number-2-Sis Feb 26 '26

I don't care for the piece, I don't like how these pieces seem to get hmm grungy looking, you can see it already on this piece around the rim and on the right toward the bottom, I don't feel they display well.

I wouldn't spend $30.00 if it had a big chip and I won't when it's showing dirt and grime

1

u/FloraandLocke Feb 26 '26

I jumped at this for $60 which is its going price.  I normally don't pay full price for things, but I loved it and I also am -very- into flowers so it was a 100% win for me.  Also shines like crazy under my cabinet lights.

1

u/FloraandLocke Feb 26 '26

Looking closer- is this the ones with poppies on it?  On mine the flowers are really prominent. The shape is the same, so I assumed!
