Always keep an eye out for sugar bowls with lids. This beautiful Fostoria Topaz Versailles etch sugar bowl sold for $130 recently. But without the lid, these sell for $25-30 and are common. Photo credit: jorgegonzam1971

Club Board members Michael and John gave an educational talk on Mid Century Modern vs. Art Deco Glass for the Antique Club of Boca Raton last week. They sent me these photos to share. Thanks to you both for sharing your knowledge and spreading the Glass Love which is part of our club’s mission.

In place of our October meeting was our always fun annual White Elephant Auction fundraiser to benefit our upcoming Vintage Glass and Pottery Show on Feb 6-7, 2027. There were a lot of treasures at great prices! I hope you all loved what you came home with. I did. So many people who must be thanked and I hope I don’t miss anyone. First, big thanks for all the great donations and to everyone who came and bid. Also thanks to Michael, John, and Jose for the setup and getting all the stuff for our Pizza party. Thanks also to Jerry, Emilie, and Jose for keeping track of the winners and the money and as always it wouldn’t be so much fun if not for our auctioneer Johnpaul and his helpers Nathan and John. We appreciate everyone who made this a huge success!

Our club has donated funds to the Museum of American Glass in WV, so I wanted to share this great video. If you have never visited, it is something to put on your bucket list. Tom Felt gives a great overview here.

It’s this Saturday, Oct 24! Always a blast! Open to the public. Not at our normal meeting spot. Will be at the Hagen Park Community Center, address below. Free parking in the city hall parking lot until 6 pm. There will be vintage items and regular household garage sale type items too. A little birdie told me there will also be homemade jarred and baked goodies for auction too. This auction fundraiser helps with expenses to run our big Glass & Pottery show coming up on Feb 6-7. Bring any donations from 11 to 11:30 am and unpack onto tables. Auction will start about noon but come a little early to get your paddle. Bring cash. A few photos from last year, but you never know what treasures you will find!

I recently attended the Vaseline Glass Collectors, Inc Convention in Wichita, KS. As part of their field trip to the National Glass Museum in Wellington, KS, two cases of Vaseline glass were donated in memory of Bob Peper. The museum and staff are wonderful and should definitely be a stop if traveling nearby. I was excited to see the case our club donated as well!

Depression era kitchen glass. There were quite a few styles of these forest green refrigerator bottles made by Owens-Illinois in the 1930s. They can be hard to find these days as they were utilitarian ware that got heavily used. Libbey, a division of Owens sold them as premiums so I am sure many companies added their labels on them so the customer could reuse after drinking the product. Fun to see this one with a prune juice label.
