I stopped at a thrift store this afternoon and found three glass paperweights. The price was right on all of them, so I grabbed them and will throw them up on eBay and see of I did ok. I'm trying to learn more about these, and the best way to do that is to jump right into them and see what works. Any comments or info on any of them would be appreciated. Thanks for looking!


The first one is a Murano Venetian art glass egg shape with a controlled bubble pattern. It's original sticker is on the bottom. Paid $4.00 for this one.

The second is a Leonard crystal turtle, again with the controlled bubble pattern. I paid $10 for this one, which may have been a bit high for resale, but it's still a nice one.

The last one has a lot of bubbles in it, so it may be a modern cheapie, but the bottom is polished, and it was only $3.00, so I grabbed it. Again, and help with ID on this one is appreciated. Thanks again!

Those are nice,Im sure you wont have a problem making your money back at minimum on these. Im not well versed on glass items but if you got these for 5 bucks each or less,Id say you did a great job!!! Good Luck with your Sale!

Can't really help you out, but I buy them when I see them (cheap) and usually run them as a "Lot" listing when I get enough, unless there's a special one (none yet). Good luck!
