Most likely a fairly new piece -- but i wanted to posted it anyway as i am still in shock how it survived -- found it this afternoon at the goodwill outlet -- if you shop the outlets you know fragile items can end up in bins with monster heavy items such as printers, tvs, etc -- how this one made it through the goodwill stores as they move these items back and forth between portland and vancouver, survive the packing on the way to the stores, end up in a bin with heavy items and not a scratch, chip or crack on it -- go figure -- also it cost me a whopping 39 cents as they sell glassware at the outlets by the pound and this one was under a pound -- all i had to do is clean off the candle wax and i think i got a real beauty -- it goes very well with my etched antique mirror above my sideboard -- both have a similar pattern -- it is a fairly substantially sized chimney -- measuring 16 inches in height with a 6 inch diameter at the top and bottom
4th pic is the antique mirror -- the chimney sets over the blue candle stick to the left

stunning and very beautiful :) love this very much:)
thanks sean -- will be checking out your new postings this morning next -- have a great day
Dont you just love the price of glass at the GW. Unless of course it is identified by a makers mark of some sort, then the price goes way beyond fair most of the time. I guess its a trade off. Its a shame they dont educate these people in how to identify alot of what sell there. It would really help them and the customer alike. I love the detail someone took when grinding this out of the glass. It was amazing the images these artist could create with just straight lines. This is Beautiful Epson233!!!
thank jay -- yes i agree -- however our goodwill people are getting too well educated as i do not find the neat ole stuff i did 2 years ago -- mostly clothes are what is available these days and the other is just pretty much junk -- ted still finds the goodies -- he found a camera that you use on the back of a motorhome when backing -- they sell at campers world for around $300 -- he got it for the price of the weight -- $1.59 -- hhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeee -- they missed that one -- so now we have back up -- which you need with a 35 footer -- however you get spoiled -- i never had one on my semi that i used to deliver grain to the elevators in lincoln nebraska -- goodness i miss my detroit howler -- hugs to you kid
Touche' Epson233. I guess you are right on this one too. But that is what makes it even more exciting when a person does find something really special. I love the fact that Ted found a $300 camera for less than $2. That was one trip that paid for itself. haha. You driving a semi doesnt surprise me at all. Is there anything you cant do? You are an amazing woman Epson233, AMAZING!:) Hugs right back at ya!!!
can't back "pups" for crap -- "but give me forty acres and i'll turn this rig around" ha -- name that tune and artist in 30 seconds -- can't carry a tune for crap either -- have a good one (pups are the driver's lingo for triples or 3 trailers gang banging one another) -- my favorite is what the truckers call the call girls at the truck stops -- got any guess -- will let you ponder that one for awhile
ya got me on this one. I havent spent alot of time at truck stops so I have no idea what they call the hookers. I have however heard the term "pups" before. I took a trip out to california when I was 16 with a preachers kid who was a truck driver part time. My parents wanted to kill me when I called them from sacremento to tell them where I was. Needless to say they were furious. I didnt ask to go of course. So what do they call the call girls and how do you know that one?
lot lizards -- my first husband was a truck driver with consolidated freightways -- he was an awesome driver -- won several national rodeo trucking championships -- now he could back pups!!!!!
thanks inky, phil, jay, justanovice,sean brat, blunderbuss, and mustangtony for the loves
