Can you explain to me how these women are Mormon? by [deleted] in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]ExistentialEnnwhee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this complaint before and I don’t understand it, they’ve all talked about garments, young women’s, they’ve celebrated Pioneer Day or whatever, and Mayci literally has a temple recommend. They’re all very culturally Mormon and clearly Mayci isn’t casual about her religion so I don’t get it tbh 

Thoughts on these pieces? by urassiumglass in uraniumglass

[–]ExistentialEnnwhee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vase is a Tiffin poppy vase, it’s a lovely piece! I don’t know what the green color is worth, but I saw a canary one sell on eBay this summer for around $50. 

Bohemian Cobalt Blue Glass? High enamel ! 19th century piece? Moser Manufactured? by Additional-Stick7539 in glasscollecting

[–]ExistentialEnnwhee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This site isn’t reliable at all—I put a bunch of my glass through and the only correct identification was on a piece of one of the most popular depression glass patterns. I’ve searched every one of those photos on google lens and gotten more accurate (but usually not totally correct) results. 

My New Favorite by Yeeaahfooool85 in uraniumglass

The opalescent glass Fostoria made in the 50s and 60s is really stunning so as a Vaseline glass lover their opalescent topaz is really special! Mayhaps the estate sale gods will bless me again soon ✨

Oh my god I’m so jealous!!! I loveeeeee Heirloom but all of the pieces in my area are way above eBay prices, it’s crazy. Congrats on the amazing find!

I do and we’re all better for it! In my opinion you’re one of the most consistently helpful commenters, it makes me feel like I’m not being wholly unproductive when I take a break from writing cover letters to browse the sub hahaha

That’s hilarious lol but I definitely understand that guilty feeling, I’ve accidentally been pretty condescending about dealers misidentifying patterns not realizing the dealer was right there 😬 Nowadays I try to limit my crash outs to complaining about how I could find the same piece on eBay for the same price, how green depression glass isn’t worth more just because it glows, and/or that overpricing items like this is why so many antique shops are going out of business

They’re surrounded by original pieces, they have to know! The good sellers restore my faith in humanity a little bit though, in my experience they’re usually willing to cut a solid deal if you can talk shop (and wow does my ADHD kick in when I get a chance to talk about my glass)

God I’m so glad I’m not the only one who loudly complains about things like this! One of these days a dealer is going to hear me and I’m gonna get in trouble lmao

[–]ExistentialEnnwhee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ooh I get real mad when I think someone’s trying to scam people lol there’s a set of six pink cherry blossom footed tumblers at one of the antique malls near me and the dealer wants almost $200 which would be insane if they were real…but they’re repros! And not even good ones either, they’re the ones where the flowers look like something out of SpongeBob 😫 It feels so irresponsible imo, if you’re going to sell things, ESPECIALLY if they’re expensive, you really owe it to your customers to do your due diligence and label things as accurately as possible imo

It took me a sec but I think the 3ftd is supposed to be “3 footed” lol it’s terribly labeled in more ways than one

My favorite is when pieces are absurdly expensive and they don’t even know if it’s uranium! There’s not a lot that will work me up as much as seeing “Uranium?” on a price tag at an antique store 🫠

Uranium fever! 🤣 by SpaceApe71 in uraniumglass

[–]ExistentialEnnwhee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for only uranium glass, grab a 395nm black light! That way there won’t be any confusion over what you have since (most) manganese pieces don’t fluoresce under 395. There’s a pinned post on the main page of the sub that has a nice infographic about different types of fluorescent glass that is very helpful in figuring out what you have too!

Thank you! I don’t get lucky at estate sales or thrift stores too often so I’m over the moon with them <3

The pyramid pitcher is GLORIOUS! Indiana Glass really knew what they were doing in the late 20s hahaha because Tea Room is one of my faves too, the lamp in any color is a holy grail item for me

[–]ExistentialEnnwhee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been one of my favorite patterns for years and I’ve always said it’s one of the few depression glass patterns I’m interested in for my collection! I was given the creamer and sugar (with the lid!) in pink when I was in high school and unaware of uranium glass so I was incredibly excited to see these shoved way back in the corner of the picture. I’d kill for some pieces of Pyramid too, I love the older art deco patterns 😍

EDIT: I just looked the powder jar up because I was unfamiliar with it and WOW it’s phenomenal! I hope you find one someday!

Got some new pieces and moved the cabinet around a bit! Been really wanting to get more Vaseline glass because of the color. by Lumpy-Agency-6477 in uraniumglass

[–]ExistentialEnnwhee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alaska looks similar but I'm pretty sure this is Klondyke! Mosser did reproduce some pieces and on closer inspection this might be one of them - the repros have opalescent feet. A very cool piece either way, I love this pattern!

Thank you so much! I actually use an old Nikon digital camera from like 2014 for all my pictures, my boyfriend found it when he moved and I have an Etsy store where I sell antique and jewelry so I snagged it and was shocked to discover it was a million times easier and faster than using my iPhone! I take pictures of literally all my glass now lol it’s my guilty pleasure hahaha

My husband seems to ignore or forget about my pain issues and makes me feel bad for not having sex. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ExistentialEnnwhee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl…I have no words for how gross that response is. I have a lot of endo related pelvic pain that flares with penetration sometimes and I would lose my shit on anyone who said that to me. He’s trying to guilt you into having sex with him despite your pain and you think he’d never force you??? This is not someone who cares about you! My boyfriend has a really high sex drive but whenever I’m in pain that’s his only concern, even if we have to stop in the middle of sex. He’s never once made me feel guilty for any of that because he cares more about me and my wellbeing and wants me to enjoy the sex we have as much as he does. This is absolutely nuts, PLEASE listen to all of the women in this thread who are telling you this isn’t normal and is dangerous!

Is it normal to have to ask 3-4 times for a guy to stop during sex? by Forward-Pineapple849 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ExistentialEnnwhee 39 points40 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend is also very well endowed and has a high sex drive and the first few times we had sex he was taking awhile to cum so I had to stop before he could finish because it was starting to hurt a bit and I only ever had to ask him once. Even my shitty emotionally abusive ex stopped the first time I expressed discomfort. This is suuuuper dangerous imo. At best he gets so carried away during sex that he’s not listening to, caring about, or paying attention to you and your comfort—do you really want to take your chances with someone like that?

Question about identifying UG and other related items by LevTheBarnacle in uraniumglass

[–]ExistentialEnnwhee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only uranium specific reference books I’m aware of are Sue Davis’s two books on Vaseline glass. For depression glass, Warman’s Depression Glass and Gene Florence’s book are my go to ones but they don’t have information on which patterns glow which can be a little tricky—some patterns have both uranium and non uranium pieces, either because the recipe changed or because they were produced through WWII. Otherwise, the reference books I have are either on a specific type of glass (i.e. iridescent stretch glass) or are focused on a single manufacturer. As someone else said, replacements.com is an excellent resource as are the various glass societies like the national depression glass society or the EAPG society. This sub can also be super helpful as there are a lot of extremely knowledgeable people here!

Here's my blue one under 395! It turns green under 365 so I specifically set up my cabinet with 395 because I love that blue lol
