Identifying Glassware
I love glassware, but I admit, I am a novice when browsing for treasures. This is one area of Antiques and Collectibles where I believe people are constantly honing their skills. Many collectors house a library of reference books to assist them. Others scour the internet. Me? If I am stumped, I call Supergranny!
How are your skills at identifying glassware?
Here are some pieces you can add to your collection right away!
They are all available for purchase from fine sellers at OnlineAuction.com!
This is a lovely ANTIQUE PRESSED AND CUT WINE GLASS DIAMONDS/3 RINGS, from RodbusterScubaDog!
Here's a beautiful set of 7 Vintage EAPG glass Snack and tea cup trays, from RobinsGoneShopn!
This Depression Glass Sharon Creamer Amber is offered at a great price from arfive!
This is a gorgeous Fenton Marigold Carnival Glass Cut Arc Compote that you can find at BuyItAgain!
This Cranberry Cut to Clear Bohemian Rose Bowl Votive Holder is available in my store, FleaPirates!
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?

- 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.
