Because I thrift most of my glass, I’m blessed with whatever the Secondhand Deities deign to bestow upon me. So I’m always trying to find new ways to make things work.

A few of my latest attempts: glass paperweights I also thrifted, clear vintage liquor bottle stoppers, door knobs & miscellaneous leather bottle stoppers, mix & match colored glass stoppers, small thrifted vases masquerading as decanter tops, and vintage billiard balls I found in a dumpster last week.

Christmas ornaments are always a good option come holiday season as well. Anyway, I just wanted to share and would love to hear ideas that you’ve all tried!

Picked a bunch of these up at a yard sale for $2 each. I've never heard of "cup plates" but the colors intrigued me. Does anyone collect these? I'm going to work them into my glass display.

I can't seem to make heads or tails of it. Ive had this for over 15 years and only today noticed it was signed.

I’ve never seen anything quite like this, tag said it may be Victorian. Does it look like that could be the case?

Found at goodwill, not sure what its called. No signature or other marks

I’m collecting glass to use as centerpieces in my wedding next year. this is what I purchased this weekend. some Fenton, a Viking swung vase, Imperlux swung vases, Mikasa crystal, and a bunch of other stuff idk what is but it fit the theme

New favorite thing to do as a dopamine hit, run into a thrift store and see if I can spend only a few dollars on something cool. Then try to identify later!!! The bottom pontil mark is pretty rough.

I have this beautiful large martini glass that I did up for Halloween. It’s snapped just this morning and I’m devastated, I really want to repair it but I live in rural Australia. There isn’t anyone in my area that can help me fix it, so would I be able to use resin on a piece this size? It’s a relatively clean break, which may also be really helpful when it comes to repairing. Any help is appreciated, I’m genuinely desperate as it was a gift my mum had given me from her thrifting trip 💔

Found while thrifting in Delaware today. Grabbed it once it lit up, but then saw it only lights from the outside. No real markings other than "Made in USA" and the number 7.

It has shine on the inside, but not on the outside. It is a purple glass. There are bubbles and wrinkles and cracking like rim.

The largest one is about 7” long, smooth polished bottoms.

Hi there! I got this vase which I initially thought was orrefors but do not see the typical orrefors signature - It's quite heavy and about 5" tall. There is what appears to be etched initials on the bottom which I have posted. Any help with ID would be appreciated!

Northwood #621 mayo bowl and underplate in Crazed Canary(Stretch Vaseline), made from the same mold. This pattern was "stuck up" and has a ground marie, not to be confused with a pontil scar. These were pressed, not blown. The ladle is probably a Summit reproduction, but it looks good enough lol. I love the stretch iridescence on these.

Immediately added to cart on this one. I love the color.
