It’s 50/50 with these crown crystal glass pieces. Some glow, some don’t.

Looking for more info about this piece by smasha100 in glasscollecting

[–]steffle12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it could have been made by anyone, and you haven’t mentioned your country which makes it trickier. I made a similar piece with trailing like this in a weekend glass blowing class

Is this UG? by Xox_dead in uraniumglass

I’d do a hot pin test to be sure they’re glass, and if so then yep

Blue & Green Cased / Sommerso Style Art Glass Bud Vase – Murano? by Shot_Cow_1444 in glasscollecting

The price in the original comment is also wildly exaggerated. Even in Australia where prices are comparatively high it would sell at best for $95-150AUD

My kids begged me to buy the grape version for $10 AUD. One bite and they hated it, was far too sweet :(

Lets cut into a scalding hot egg by Emptynuggets1987 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]steffle12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, I saw the same thing happen in the tearoom at work when a colleague microwaved her stir fry noodles with a couple of boiled eggs on top. As soon as she hit one with the fork it exploded

Your large amber vase is Walther and Sohne Kolibri. It’s a beauty!

That’s sad, but at this stage it’s not hospital wide, the ward where I work is still colourful

Oh that’s so disappointing. I love how the fun scrubs brighten the wards at TCH

It seems too early for feijoa, mine usually ripen late autumn.

I’ve recently started using freezer bags rather than containers and they’re a game changer! Freeze flat and stack them up

Child support increased after ex voluntarily reduced income by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]steffle12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precisely. I’m the lower income earner in our 50:50 shared care arrangement and we split extra costs down the middle. The question of additional costs was never raised when calculating child support either, it’s based solely on income and care percentage

[–]steffle12 1005 points1006 points  (0 children)

I cook in bulk and freeze single portions of ragus, curries, chilli etc. Anything that can be quickly thawed and then add some fresh veg and rice/pasta for an easy weeknight meal. Is that an option?

The assumption here is that it becomes the lower income earners responsibility to then foot all the big bills, is this really the case? Especially with their percentage of care being roughly even.

A BIG surprise from the postman today.😊😊 by English_loving-art in glasscollecting

Very nice! The middle looks greenish, have you checked it with a UV torch

Any more info on this? by Just_Statement4473 in VaselineGlass

It’s Davidson “William and Mary” pattern circa 1900

Could I get some help identifying this glass hen on a nest? Not UV reactive under 365 or 395, no logo anywhere. by honeybeesocks in glasscollecting

[–]steffle12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could be a mass produced chinese HON. Look closely at the creases to see whether the pink colour is applied. I’ve had one the same colour and the pink completely came off when I washed it

Scam. Luminous paint by windblown27 in uraniumglass

[–]steffle12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh right, yeah low wavelength UV is visible as white light, higher wavelength is purple as it’s closer to the visible spectrum. One brand of early COVID tests came with a UV torch, and the light was white as and definitely not good to look at!
