  1. Thanks again! :-)
  2. A guy was setting up, and I asked how much did he want. He said it wasn't his that he was just setting up for some lady. He said she would be there soon, so i walked around and came back...and no lady...
  3. I paid $10 for it...and the lady had to give me a canvas bag to carry it!
  4. This has a odd green hue to it. It's clear, but has a greenish tint to it. There are no markings.
  5. Is it like a ball? Completely round?
  6. I have seen an Aqua one here at the flea market, only in frosted glass...whatever you call that, not clear
  7. Solved my own mystery! Mikasa Germany glass
