- Cut to Clear Glass starts as clear glass and is then layered with another color, with the most common being red or blue. Various designs are afterwards cut into the glass to show the clear base.

Now this is just a smidgeon of glassware terms and a sampling of the treasures to be found. What's your favorite kind of glass? Personally, I have an affinity for Moonstone Opalescent Hobnail, which is a hobnail pattern, with a misty white decoration applied at the edge, which appears fiery when held to the light. Those treasures, however, never go beyond my own collection. I am always watching for a unique-to-me piece to arrive in the OLA listings... will you outbid me?

You sure picked some pretty glassware to feature. I love glassware and there is all kinds of interesting stories out there about glassware. You are such a goofy little critter!
I agree, these are lovely! I've had people look for the different snack plates and such for weddings, nowadays! After all, it's not expensive and you can find lots of it if you want to!!
Your selection of glass wear is beautiful. I used to collect it but now I have nowhere for it. So sad for me.
The pressed glass and diamonds one sure looks familiar...gonna check at my Mom's house tomorrow to see if she has it...I know she inherited a bunch from my Gramma.
