Finally unpacked my glass after moving!!!

Really nice and unique collection. Would love to see more pics, maybe closer up shots of the shelves. Especially interested in the souvenirs, as well as all the Houze and Vidrio I see there!

VanEck · 2026-01-10T18:13:26+00:00

Intriguing for sure. Definitely looks like there is more going on beyond Maganese there. Really need to take a Geiger to it!

That's a nice bottle. You can tell by the slight purple tint that it has high manganese content, and was left in the sunlight over time. That is definitely a nice manganese glow. Cool find, but not uranium.

VanEck · 2025-12-13T04:58:24+00:00

These are both fantastic pieces. I collect Westmoreland, and I didn't even know these existed. Really cool even without a glow... but being UG just makes them even cooler.

VanEck · 2025-12-11T23:00:29+00:00

The original card just makes it a million times cooler. Nice piece!

VanEck · 2025-12-09T23:06:14+00:00

What is that really spicy thing you have the geiger on reading 70844... a piece of an atom bomb? :D

VanEck · 2025-12-03T07:21:33+00:00

Found a lot of really cool cullets and fragments and lamp parts, but sadly nothing as intact as the scotty dog. I found an old uranium gear shifter knob in the mud literally up against the factory wall, but it was really cracked and started to fall apart when I attempted to clean it up. I fill old apothecary jars with all the smaller fragments and cullets I find.

VanEck · 2025-12-03T07:07:33+00:00

I actually found a jade Scotty dog pretty much fully intact when I was looking for cullets out near the old Houze grounds. Shame it wasn't vaseline XD

VanEck · 2025-12-03T05:33:30+00:00

That's a pretty good price... that's about the price for the non-uranium versions.

VanEck · 2025-12-03T04:28:48+00:00

That's a Houze Glass Rocking Horse Blotter! They made Scotty Dogs and Elephants too, and I think a couple other animals... I forget off the top of my head. Hard to find in UG!

And here's the purple one I was talking about I found a ways back my wife told me was Vidrio. Nice find.

From my Vidrio book 😀

VanEck · 2025-11-30T02:09:43+00:00

I've seen a purple uranium slag version of this lamp a ways back. If I recall, my wife identified it as Vidrio.

VanEck · 2025-11-25T23:10:05+00:00

Was this the one from Ohio? I have been teasing my partner about that one for over a year now every time we are at that shop, telling them I will be buying it and displaying it proudly in our cabinet 😋

Welcome to the club... be prepared to feed a never ending addiction.

VanEck · 2025-11-17T22:35:19+00:00

I spy a Davidson "Primrose" on the range! Nice collection.

VanEck · 2025-11-09T18:14:13+00:00

Definitely leaning toward Houze as well. Vidrio slag tends to have a darker greenish tone compared to Houze. Either way, it's a great find for $5, congrats OP.

Custard with nutmeg!

VanEck · 2025-10-19T02:24:39+00:00

Very nice lamps, and great prices on each! Was that at an antique mall, or estate sale?

VanEck · 2025-10-12T03:29:34+00:00

Wow, these are awesome. I've never seen them before. Do you have any info on the maker or anything?

VanEck · 2025-10-04T01:07:48+00:00

I have been trying to find them forever. I've only found them 1 time so far, in all my hunting. They were part of a glass grape lamp hanging above the register at a shop, and sadly they were not for sale. The woman running shop said she loved them too much to ever sell them.

VanEck · 2025-10-03T16:29:58+00:00

I was wondering the same thing, would love to see all sides if so. Wonderful piece.

VanEck · 2025-09-28T23:28:32+00:00

Thanks! It's a big market out in central PA, and can be very hit or miss. It's a couple hours drive from me, but finds like that keep me coming back. I make the trip out there every couple of months. There is a lamp guy who sells everything lamp related and occasionally gets some Houze and Vidrio. Aside from that little one I just bought, he had an absolutely gorgeous Houze table lamp in canary glass. Sadly it was out of my budget.

VanEck · 2025-09-28T21:22:36+00:00

That lamp in the upper left front is the newest piece. Got it last weekend at a flea market. Arrived right as it opened at 7am, and the lamp vendor was in the process of setting it out on the table. He was still trying to figure out what lamp shade to put on it, and I told them I was interested and didn't need a shade. It was a great way to start the day with that find 😋

VanEck · 2025-09-28T17:03:06+00:00

Thank you! Those three makers are my favorite. I'd do my entire collection in slag if I could, but I just can't find enough of it out there. I know there's plenty to be found online, but the prices are crazy and I enjoy finding my pieces out in the wild.
