This is 1930's American made End of Day Glass. A piece from the end of the day at the factory when broken bits of glass would be combined for pieces. It is a white core, then colored pieces with a clear outer surface. The different layers would often blend together. American 1920's Carnival Glass

Wow. I might just snatch that up! Wonder how much the one my Aunt has is worth. My great great grandma was 98 when she passed away. No telling how old she was when she got it That ball is pure silicon dioxide. Quartz monocrystal. Made the same way as pure silicon for making solar panels. Huge boules of pure perfect material for cutting. So don't waste my $? Taught me something. Which is why I joined this group. You all teach me about stuff I don't know. And I appreciate that.

Something completely impossible 30 years ago.

I love this thread. Thanks to all of you who are way more knowledgeable about it than I am. I have always been intrigued with glass, but especially blown glass. Always wanted to learn how to do it, but it is an expensive hobby. Dale Chihuly and Paul Stankard are my glass heroes. When I lived near Chicago and worked downtown, I would go look at different Tiffany glass installations at lunch. Marshall Field's had a huge domed ceiling that was Tiffany stained glass. Another Marquette Building down the block from my office had Tiffany mosaic panels. It was amazing. www.yelp.com/biz_photos/marquette-building-chicago?select=0v-TgMZWrhuRB_evzP1Hbw

I disagree with Scott...
Well, Ali placed the value of that one broken piece at $600. But if you get 50 pendants at $20ea it's worth $1000 with your added value. Not breaking that piece would leave money on the table.
And the collectors have smaller population to compete with. Helps them too!

Do you feel that Chihuly today has the same value as before when he actually did the work? I'm just curious because he quit working and started managing years ago, but his machine still keeps chugging out work. Has quality suffered? Simply curious. I love going into his showrooms and seeing his work in Vegas casinos. ETA I'll answer my own question. Nope quality seems higher than ever. www.chihuly.com/shop/edition-artwork/glassPrices too!

Too me it isn't the value. It is the art, the craftsmanship. The fact that at one point a master glass blower held and molded this from nothing. Hard to explain.......

If anything he may have gotten better. Hard to say. Prices are ridiculous and why they are on my LWLOTTB.

I just want trash glass. Looking at images it looks like this vase has DH style splotches on it. I suppose DH glass is valuable art pieces too ?

You aren't looking in trashy enough places. You're just not trashy enough! Put an ad in craigslist looking for chipped and broken colorful glass. Hey, I wonder if you could sneak into the recycling place... Google, contact the local historical societies and see if you can find any old glass factories and hunt for slag. My grandmother gave me some beautiful swirly blue slag chunks that she found. No, you can't have them!

The green and blue cracked piece I got yesterday is a masterpiece, gonna be surprised if they are fakes. no expert here but that piece is insane.
