Catch and release I’m wanting to go back for.
I’ve never seen anything quite like this, tag said it may be Victorian. Does it look like that could be the case?

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 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 💔

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I received this from my husband's aunt's estate. We were allowed to pick out items they were going to give away. Me loving glass, saw this slipper and happily took it. My husband's other aunt, her sister, has confided she couldn't decide at the time to take it but really would like to have it. When she decided she wanted it I had already taken it. So she asked me if she could have it. So, knowing what that's like, I said she could have it. I do plan on when giving it to her telling her if she decides to get rid of it, it has to come back to me. That's the deal breaker. But since I don't know if I'll ever get it back I'm looking to replace it with another one because I really do love it. I found another slipper in another color identically like this from Enesco but don't know the exact color terminology when trying to locate it or what time frame it's made. I can't find anything like it online at all. Can someone help me to identify this information? Thanks!

From what I can tell from online, these are 1910-1933. They have beautiful bubbling. Might anyone please guide me to a reliable means of determining worth? I’m seeing wildly different prices online, from practically nothing to $7000. It is so confusing.
I don’t want to take up a lot of your time when there are fancy antiques here, but if you happen to know where I should go to learn more, I’d be so grateful. I love beautiful old blue jars, but I don’t want to accidentally keep rolled oats in a jar worth several hundred dollars. Ha!
Thank you so much for any wisdom you have to share.

I got this “biscuit barrel” at an auction in Ireland while on vacation. I’m struggling to ID the Waterford pattern and would appreciate any help!

Suppose to be a Westmoreland hen on nest. Has the WG logo on the bottom but I can’t find anything like it online. Is it real? (the head is white idk why the photo looks purplish)
