Sooo pretty ! I collect both these colors, are you selling them ?
im actually not selling them they are in my personal collection and i just cannot bring myself to part with them. im sorry!
I only ask because I saw pics like this of two on ebay and thought you were the seller. I meant no harm when asking :)
oh, no harm at all!!! im glad you liked my items. thanks
Very lovely in just themselves, but they also make unbelievable, fascinating photos!!
thank you very much. i love my glass and the hobnail pattern is amazing. i have many more photos under my profile. thanks again!
does anyone have one of these in yellow? thanks
thanks dottie!
Your collection of hobnail is so stunning! I have a few small pieces of hobnail that was my grandmothers that I treasure and keep,I have also had pieces that I have sold but regret that after seeing your beautiful collection.
thanks you so much for your great comments Dottie...sorry im responding to them so late.
thank you junkmanjoe
I was a green one for sale the other day.
*saw* i mean
Nice pieces in a great collection! Thanks for your insight and knowledge.
Mrj303, these were never made in the green color. they were made in the topaz color and that can portray a green color in certain light. thanks for you comment!
thank you Mavericklane for your nice words. glad i could help you. thanks again!
thanks to all of you who loved this item!
thank you junkmanjoe!
Since I see blue/French opalescent used interchangeably - what is the difference?
Your French opalescent looks almost clear......
blue opalescent is blue with white (opalescent) and french opalescent is clear crystal with white (opalescent). they are not the same. blue is more desirable. hope that helps.
They are stunning! I have one in lime green opalescent. Curious that someone said they didn't make this piece in green. . . wondering if I got hornswaggled???
post a picture please... i can tell you what you have based on the picture. thank you.
