Recently bought an intricately cut wine glass and I’m starting to think I found a nice antique crystal

YOU GET ROOKIE OF THE YE@R FOR THIS. CALL IT BLOWN GLASS 101 for rookies

I have several 1876 100 years centennial pieces too

We missed the "value" Carnival Glass...

Not all Murano has pontil marks and I have a $700 piece to prove it.

Read the history of Fenton, that gives the explanation.

I have a collection of hair receivers. I have a wooden one from my great grandmother, one that has birds on it, and one that has a spring metal cover over the hole. They are neat!

I have a set of pitcher and six glasses in the grape pattern, iridescent blue, and it’s beautiful!

Truly exquisite!!

Well done tutorial! THANK YOU!

The bowl is Yazemin cut glass, made in Turkey, c1990.

Hello& thank you for this video as it's quite informative 🙏🏼 Question for you would you be able to tell me what type of glass I have if I sent you a photo of this pitcher I own?

Gorgeous! ...Would be helpful to know what they look like sans blacklight...

Oh how absolutely beautiful! I want one of these singing bird boxes so bad!

Cut crystal fruit bowl from beginning to end

Add. The base- thick of there glass-

As I glassblower myself Im used to hearing glass-talk only from the glass community so its wonderful to hear somebody else appreciate glass and all the skills and techniques🎉❤ and about the young generation of glassblowers, we are not extinct yet! 😂

Neat item, thanks for sharing.

This must have been made by a hobbyist, and a very good one. They sometimes signed on the artwork, and sometimes on the bottom or both. There is only one manufacturer mark on it, the one who made the blank.

Finds of the week, not find of the weeks.

Pressed glass was never made in wooden molds. Carnival Glass was pressed into metal mold and while hot sprayed with metallic salts dissolved in water. This caused the iridescent surface to form.

I have a very similar piece. This is the first one I have ever seen like it!

This was exactly the video I needed, thank you so much! I'm about to start selling vintage and antique items on Instagram and I've got so many random glass/crystal pieces, this will help me tons!

I had a friend that was so tight with his money that it was after a time said to be an illness . None the less at the time he got married I thought he was just crazy cheap. So for the gift when he got married I got him a really large Waterford vase similar to the one you were showing. I did that in the hope he would buy his wife flowers at least on special dates . I moved and went off with the army so I never did get a chance to find out how many times he bought his wife flowers if any . Oh well . He is dead now. I still hope one of his kids get the vase when the mother dies. I bet that unless she bought flowers for it there was hardly a time when flowers would have been in it .

what does it means on the glass Genuine Lead 24% Cristal D'Arques France Glasses-. Gen

Dziękuję👍Zrelaksowałem się🤠

So its not safe for use because of lead 😢

wow

Thank you

I do not have carnival glass but a German made piece with a sticker on it. It says bleikristall echt pfauenau. The end of the last name I gave to you is where the paper ends or ripped. I do know it is crystal. My mother gave this to me before her death in 2003. It's colors are similar to carnival glass. Is it worth anything?

When you have an a-hole neighbor this does zero to solve my problem. Besides, the dog can't read and I doubt my a- hole neighbor can either.

Thank you for sharing this information

Standing in Goodwill so my niece can do some shopping, and I’m flicking Vases as I watch my toddler play with the toys. I think it’s time I start collecting to honor my mother(God rest her beautiful soul!!!), because she collected Crystal throughout my childhood, and even named me Crystal because of her love for Crystal. Thanks for the tips!!

I just recently realized that Cristal has lead, and I had a mini heart attack when I knew

Love it

thank you for your video. I recently purchased a Daum Vase from Neiman Marcus online. The piece that I received does not look like the one on display at the store, meaning that my piece has more "frosted" look/more "dull" than the displayed one. I am not sure what they used to polish their piece but I have tried to clean mine with mild/diluted dish washing detergent water and wiped it dry. However, it still look dull. What should be used to polish this brand of crystal? Thank you for your insight into this. A bit disappointed since the piece that I purchased is almost $2k.

Beautiful! Thank you for you knowledge.

Thanks for your video! Your so knowledgeable & i appreciate your work & sharing ❤

Any idea what "PLN" or "PLM" on back of Vienna plate means

I use a shaving scuttle myself. Nowadays they are not really needed. As hot water comes from the tap as well. But I enjoy it.

Your knowledge is limited

Is all carnival glass iridescent?

molten glass is pressed in steel molds not wood.

Hello. When purchasing Daum brand new, does the manufacturer include paperwork about the piece and its number? Thank you.

Make sure the glass is crystal and can ding before you try making announcements at the weddings!

Ooh

One thing about turquoise is that there are natural turquoise pieces in jewelry and there’s stabilized turquoise. Stabilized is soaked in acrylic or epoxy resin and it will never really change color over 30 years or so. Natural turquoise will stay in most grades but with oils from our skin and handling, lotions, soaps, etc- natural turquoise will turn green over time. A kind of blah color. Natural turquoise also has natural inclusions like quartz and matrix - fake turquoise is usually dyed howlite so look howelite up and you’ll see what I mean. Peace

Thanks for your information on lead crystal glass You described the difference very well :)

I grew up with Lladro. My mother's collection is awesome... she took care of them in her living room that was a museum. I didn't know what they were growing up... all i knew was if i played around them and broke one, I would be disowned.
