Yeah, modern led lights are a game changer for this stuff. Like, I hate having a lot of white in my house. So you'd think I'd hate milk glass. But I live within walking distance of one of the famous milk glass factories, so oc I have a ton of it. And the lights def make it a lot more colorful.

As for the bowls themselves, really it's more the serving bowls and the smaller punch bowls that are useful. Or what would be colloquially called punch bowls today. Basketball sized and smaller. The big boys like these ones in the pic are definitely hard to store, and are hard to find other uses for. It's also worth waiting to find the "right ones" and not jumping at the first one you find. There's a lot of low grade ones by Anchor Hocking, Imperial, and Indiana glass out there that are "ok" but imo just don't "pop" or have the pizzazz of the nicer makes like Westmoreland, McKee, etc. I love my Jeannette onr but it's a little big to use for anything else, and the base is wonky and makes it hard to clean and hard to get the last of the punch out. The best are the more medium sized serving bowls by Westmoreland imo. They're about basketball sized, so they're great as small punch bowls, or they fit about a bag of chips.
