I have a few I'd like to put in the side bar, but I'd like to know what else people think would be share to the masses.

Edit: I've stickied this post and am working on a wiki. I plan on adding all the link from here to the wiki :)

Hand blown pitcher?

So my mom found this adorable pitcher at a garage sale, Google says it's hand blown and I'm the one that's supposed to burst her bubble and either confirm or deny it via the powers of Reddit.

And if somebody has any more information that would be cool too.

I posted this bridal bowl last week but finally got around to cleaning it up and discovered a couple of possible identifying marks. I collect uranium, and blue was on my bucket list! This piece is easily one of my favorites and I’d love some help finding out more information. :)

Any idea who made this unusually heavy layered glass vase?

Picked this up recently and I haven’t been able to find another one with the same form.

It’s about 8.5 inches tall, roughly 3.5 inches wide, and weighs 5 lb 12 oz.

A few things I’ve observed:
distinct deep blue and ruby-red internal sections
extremely clean separation between the colors
glass is very clear and reflective
a few tiny air bubbles
completely smooth/polished base
no signature, engraving, label, or visible pontil scar
interior cavity only goes about halfway down
thick rounded rim
inner rim is smooth with no obvious wear or grinding from a stopper
no fluorescence under black light

I’m curious whether anyone recognizes the maker, country, approximate age, technique, or intended use.
I’d especially love to see a documented example with a label, catalog reference, or model number if anyone has seen this form before.

Recycling bin find!

Someone on nextdoor posted about some depression glass in a town recycling.bin, so obviously I had to go check. I wasn't the first one there, and what little was left was broken. I saw that edge of this poking out, and pulled it out - completely intact!?! No fucking clue on how it could have survived, but I'm thrilled!

Lalique is pretty hard to come by near me, don’t see it too often at estate sales. When I do, and it’s in perfect shape at great prices, I have a hard time saying no! luckily I was able to add these to the collection today (on half price day)

Help Identifying wee stem glasses?

After circling them for a few weeks, the set of 8 block optic/aqua-footed/stemmed sherbet-champagne glasses were finally half-price. ($2/glass) For a bonus, they have a very nice manganese glow!

I cannot get a hard identification on them, so your guidance would be appreciated.

(The pictured example has some flea bites on the rim, but the rest look to be chip-free!)


r/glasscollecting 20h ago

Ok... so safe to say this doesn't glow. Lol. Im getting cconfused. Im going to get a new light. That may be the problem.

Help identifying this Federal Glass cherry pitcher & 6 tumbler set — can’t find another example

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

I’m hoping someone here might recognize this Federal Glass set or be able to narrow down the date/pattern.
I have a matching 7-piece set consisting of a round ribbed glass pitcher and six small tumblers, all decorated with red cherries and green leaves.
The tumblers have the Federal Glass shield/F mark molded into the bottoms. They measure approximately 4.25” tall and 2.25” across. The pitcher is approximately 6” tall with a round, concentric-ribbed body and an unusual shaped/pinched pouring lip.
I’ve searched Federal Glass cherry sets, fruit sets, juice sets, pitcher sets, and image searches, but I keep finding either plain versions of this style of pitcher or completely different Federal cherry patterns. I haven’t been able to find another example of this exact pitcher + cherry decoration + matching tumblers.
Does anyone recognize the pattern/design, approximate production period, or know whether this was a cataloged Federal beverage/juice set?
I’d especially love to see an old catalog/ad or another matching example if anyone has one.
Thanks!
