A lot of people have old pieces of glass in their homes. It could be a plate or a vase that has been handed down from family member to family member. Sometimes we are not sure of the history or the value of this unique art form. To get a lesson on collectable glass we stop by and chat with Gary Germer from Gary Germer and Associates. He tells us that glass has been produced for thousands of years, but he would do his best to give us a 5 minute primer on glass.

    If you like the antique Tiffany Art glass look, there is a contemporary company hand blowing for that look. It is Lundborg Glass in Davenport, CA. They were the only contemporary company in the Museum shows of Tiffany in San Francisco in the gift store. We have 5 of their vases in different shapes & we remodeled our bathroom to match the 2 light shades we purchased from them. It's fun living with these beautiful pieces. They are anywhere from $150-$300, much cheaper than Tiffany and Steuben and just as gorgeous. Small company that employs local folks.
  • We threw rings at Carnival Glass at the fair every year when we were in Highschool🥰‼️🤩

    There is a glaring error in this presentation. Durand is not a European art glass. Victor Durand established the Durand Art Glass Company in Vineland, New Jersey.
  • Yes, carnival glass was given out at Carnivals and fairs as novelties. My Grandfather and his brothers took carnival rides to fairs and carnivals. My mother wouldn't get off the rides for paying customers. Being born in 1920 she was old enough to remember the Carnival novelties. We still have some beaded necklaces from those days that I shared with my cousins.
  • Carnival glass was given as prizes at carnivals from around 1907 until 1925...yes you could also buy it retail.
  • I have so many pieces I would like to find what they are worth. Is there someone I could send some pics. Things like a wooden vase with carvings of trees and elephants that continues.

    All I have to say is very valuable and interesting however I would never collect any of this. I would rather go to a store a look. You can't take any of this to your grave. And for me all it would do is just sit on the shelf and collect dust and then I'd be worried about people breaking in the house and stealing it so something is beautiful it's not very practical for me as much as it brings others happiness it wouldn't bring happiness to me.
