Today on my way from work I stopped in at the Red Cross Op Shop and spied this lovely green vase (on the left) in the display cabinet. Looking at it I suspected it was uranium glass which a "collector" behind me confirmed. He was busy looking at the bottom of the cabinet and I was attracted to what was up the top. I think his comment was "Ï missed out by 5 seconds". Me I am not totally sure he would have bothered to look up and probably thought it to be more depression glass. Being either depression glass or uranium ware I dont mind...but it does have that really concentrated bright green glass that appears luminescent with UV light. Putting down another piece of glass makes me realise that I need to do some dusting. Another day!
Last Friday I had breakfast with my friend Richmal and then did a bit of op shopping (in the heat). These lovely bakelite cannisters in a speckled green were a lovely find.
Also a few tall milk ware vases, which the lady marked down for me from $5 each to $3..can you believe she thought they were over priced! I wasnt going to argue. Yah for me!
I seem to have a penchant for mixing bowls at the moment and purchased another..just because.
And one last tiny white vase, just to nestle between the long necks.
Happy shopping all.
You say depression ware...he say uranium ware.....whilst he was dithering you must certainly won the prize! Your glass is gorgeous. You lucky girl, you! My goodness you are certainly on a roll, aren't you. Love your other finds as well. You seem to be the girl with the mostest when fossicking for op shop treasures!
