Any ideas what this is. I can't seem to find anything on it.

I wonder if this might have had some kind of holder so it can stand the other way with the hole on the top.  then it would be a vase.   Just a thought

Look up the comic strip Bringing Up Father. I'm feeling confident that's what your figures are from. Hopefully that'll give you more direction.

Hi everyone, I'm new to VAMP. Just started selling (I'll post an intro next). These items are driving me nuts trying to determine what to list them as and value. They are very heavy (cast lead possibly)? Painted on both sides. Might be from Germany. I have seen similar figures but not these exactly. Starting to think they may be hand made?

Hello friends! Has anyone ever seen vintage glass clip-ons like these? I cannot ID these earrings, any advice would be welcome

Amie would be able to give you some great insight!

Wow! Thank you, so much! I’m trying to learn what to look for. That’s very helpful

I don’t think it is cut-to-clear but rather a flashed cut glass. The reason I say that is I 1) there are what looks like some scratches between the bottoms of the grapes and tops of arches that are showing up clear. If the glass there was actually red, those scratches wouldn’t be visible. that would imply the red is flashed or painted on, not a solid layer of red glass. 2) cuts made that deep you can usually see the depth of the red over the clear but cannot on deeper spots like the arches on this piece

Cut to clear

I can’t help. But is it painted or cut to clear? It is lovely

Not that I can see.

Any signatures?

@fabricandtreasures__juli that’s a gorgeous rose bowl! Fenton Black Rose Crest. Good find!

Oh yeah, Fenton and cracker barrel started a relationship in the 70s. They did the original collection, then this collection, then some limited pieces for Christmas. I have a cracker barrel Fenton Angel for sale in my vamp store

So, I saw this listing w/the original tag https://www.ebay.com/itm/294840581405. Fenton pieces sold at Cracker Barrel??? My mind is blown!! @harpers_things thoughts

@channel PLEASE NOTE: this chat is for the identification of items, NOT the valuation. Little-to-none of us are professional appraisers, nor have we seen your piece in person as you have. Please do not ask about a value/price to sell/if something is worth buying/selling because those are all for you as a buyer/seller to decide based on your own situation/demographic/preference etc. if you wish to know the value of something, you can continue your research after a fellow VAMPer helps with ID and come up with valuation yourself using your new found knowledge.

No problem! Happy to help!

How neat, I didn’t know that information. I appreciate your time in helping me.

It looks to be McCoy that someone has hand painted. They were sold unpainted.

Thank you, I have more pics I can post.

It's hard to tell without seeing more angles. I'm guessing it's a planter. It looks to be US made due to the "chonkiness" of it. It could possibly be a blank that was then hand painted. Maybe Mccoy or Shawnee?

Question on this Fenton piece. The only information I can find is on worthpoint and I can’t see what it sold for. It’s a Fenton Cracker Barrel “award” apparently given to GM’s of the year - only 1,000 made. The information on Worthpoint also says the signature on top is the president of the company. Andy other information anyone has or approximate value (if any) and amount I should sell it for would be appreciated. Thank you!!

Thank you! That’s what I thought but wanted to make sure 😁

All Christmas and parasol girl are Napco

I have no clue, but he's COOL!!!

I have no info on it sorry… 🤷‍♀️ And it is funny how I see more of an armadillo than a bear.. 😆

Looks like a perfume bottle.

I believe it is Heisey with a pheasant and chain etched gold rim design. I saw a different piece but same color (they referred to as flamingo pink) on another site.

Color is a pink amber. I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know who made this bowl

Beautiful piece.

I have no ideas on this epergne but just wanted to say " A Stunner "

I would have guessed Stourbridge too after looking around online.

It's hard to tell without seeing the bottom. My gut tells me it's contemporary, but I've been wrong before. Glass is not my "thing". :)

Mattell Futurland Hurdy Gurdy with dancing monkey. It's from the 1950's. It should have a string around the top and the monkey should dance around when the handle is turned.

While that is a good train of thought, not all milk glass has a “ring of fire” (the fiery color that shines through when exposed to bright light/sunlight) and also varies in opacity based on age/maker/thickness. Saying white glass is totally opaque and milk glass isn’t is not accurate at all. Milk glass is white glass and white glass is milk glass. The “white glass” that is not typically milk glass is your high gloss whites that tend to be clear glass colored white like you’d see in more art glass pieces. Think your “murano style” sculptures or swirly vases, etc. This is a much more common white today than actual milk glass. The better question when it comes to the beads in the jewelry is whether they are stone, glass, or plastic/acrylic/lucite/resin/some other relative thereof. Stone and glass will be cool to the touch. Plastic/resin/etc. will warm with your fingers as you pinch it. From there, usually white is going to be glass, not stone, because there aren’t too many pure white shiny stones like that out there. Glass would be smoother, more uniform, perfectly sized and even whereas stone would have variance and texture.

Hi there, please keep in mind when asking questions that this is a chat for identifying pieces you do not know maker/id of. We do not do Valuation/Sales prices here and nobody can determine if something is worth reselling but you, because that answer is different for everyone.

You’re welcome!

Thank you

Smith is the only company who called that color “bittersweet.” However, there are other makers who made similar orange slag colored pieces - they just wouldn’t be called bittersweet.

Is L.E. Smith the only company that made ‘bittersweet’? I have a bittersweet bottoms up shot glass with the coaster. Upon googling bottoms up shot glass, it comes in various colors except bittersweet and is made by McKee. Bueller…….Bueller…….😊

1952. It was called "The Jack in the Box Organ Grinder".

This is how I judge if it is milk glass or not. Hold the pieces up to the light and see if you can see through at all.  Milk glass is only slightly opaque.  White glass is totally opaque.  Also if it is milk glass, you can hold it up to a light and look for the small rainbow colors at the edges of the glass.

Here is what I found on the internet so take it for what it is worth : "First, milk glass is usually quite heavy for its size, so a heavy piece of jewelry is a good indication that it is made from milk glass. Second, milk glass is usually quite opaque, so if the jewelry is light and see-through, it’s not likely to be made from milk glass. Finally, milk glass is usually quite smooth, so if the jewelry has a lot of texture or is rough to the touch, it’s not likely to be made from milk glass"

Yes vintage 35 plus

Help! Is it worth reselling? Is it vintage?

Thank you everyone!!!
