I saw this pretty little glass piece at the thrift but have no idea what it is. It appears to be cased with a couple of colors...
So what is it? TJMaxx? I figured for 50 cents it was worth the educational experience. Glass gang????

cant help AmberRose, but a lovely blue!! I think I must be into Blue as I keep saying it!! Nice find!
Thank you Tony, V and Justanovice!
I know the blue is great!
I see three layers (and a little chip, LOL) and the shape is very Bohemian. I'd say either Bohemian, English or American. Dugan maybe?
Dasullywon, yep little chip there. But it was 50 cents, so I accept it as character.
I have pinch pot in my head...that thre right term?
I'm not sure; might be a "toothpick" or a very strange shot glass!
Too big for either more the size of a roks glass.
Did you know Dasullywon auto corrects to causually won...I had a giggle over it
Or a rocks glass...geez
Well doesn't look like Dugan, thanks for the link
Eye!
A beauty.
Dugan made a WIDE variety of stuff, and liked to imitate Bohemian glass, but I'm not sure I have ever seen cased Dugan glass; it was just a wild but somewhat educated guess on my part. Fenton maybe? (here we go again!)
Oh, forgive me slow today. Supposed to go out to Girl and the Goat tonight...kiddos going to Grandmas...then youngest started barfing...so long tasty dinner...hello boring night with sick baby
Thank you, dasullywon. I know nothing about glass but using this as good opportunity to learn.
Eye, imagine me rasberrying you : P
Thank you Amber (I think).
stunning sweetheart:) this is very beautiful:)
Actually Eye, the hubby and our friends are going without me. I threw myself on the sword. There is an open seat however...
Thanks inky!
Question (probably dumb one) is the uranium glass radioactive? I'd rather have you laugh at me instead of someone else.
It is fractionally. Certainly not enough to worry about. However, I don't eat or drink off it. Actually not a dumb question at all
You going to an auction today?
Not sure driveway and car covered with snow . Have to remember when I was growing up I was taught to get under my desk when "the bomb" hit. A lot of good that would have done huh:)
Go on out. Little bit of stinky snow. You are tougher than that! Plus I have to live vicariously through you
Well you were really living when I ended up in the corn field last month!
Oh my goodness...sorry to say I laughed out loud when I read this. Hope you and yours were okay. Stay home. Throw a log on the fire and kick back. I plan on posting more, live vicariously through me.
Not intentional! Slid, spun around a few times went through a ditch like the dukes of hazard. Husband took his truck down and pulled me out. We burned the clutch out and had to wait 1 1/2 hours for tow truck. It was a wild ride but could have been worse, could have hit a cow:)
Oh, did not get hurt, car a little banged up where I landed but the good thing is I had a pinched nerve in my back and next morning it was fixed.
Thank you everyone!
Still looking for more ideas. This is a piece that is really bugging me!
