Glassware, I am trying so hard to learn the different types of glassware and what is Antique verse Vintage. what to collect and what to leave on the shelf, what to keep and what to throw out as you can see I am not doing so good. Please if you can identify these for me. I am still so heart broken when my child shattered my Punch bowl a few months ago. I still have the glasses but it's just not the same. RIP punch bowl.
the handled nappy in the 3rd image is McKee's Wiltec, c.1904; but has been reproduced. can't make of detail of others
Thanks TallCakes is this one 1904?
could be but hard to say from photos; check it with a black light
TallCakes If I were able to check with black light, what would I be looking for?
much old glass contains manganese, which when exposed to black light will effloresce a faint yellow-green when looking at edges and sometimes can be seen in the details in thick glass. It requires a dark room tho' as the glow is fairly faint.
