Random ramblings from the cluttered brain of a Brit ex-pat North Devonian trying to keep cool in the steamy summers and warm in the frosty winters of The Great White North.

Glass Reflections
A yard sale find, a couple of years ago.... $0.25, yes, 25 cents, a real bargain.
Daum egg-shaped decorative paperweight, signed, made in France. Daum Glass is made in Nancy, the history of the company is here.
You found yourself a real bargain and I think they are called glass dumps here but I'll read all about Daum glass from your link. I have a glass paperweight too, mine was a charity shop find, yours is really nice and I don't understand why people want to get without them.

ReplyDeleteYard Sales and Charity shops here will soon be opening up again as Covid restrictions gradually ease.... so I'll be looking for more bargains!
DeleteWhat an amazing find. $25 wouldn't buy it here. I have several glass paperweights and I love them.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple more glass paperweights too, but the yellow one is the prettiest.
DeleteA daum fine bargain, I'd say/
ReplyDeleteOh very bad pun.... groan.
DeleteOne person's trash! You did very well here.
ReplyDeleteThere will never be another bargain as good as that one.... 25 cents!!!!!
DeleteI love it!
ReplyDeletePraise indeed from the lady who has a basement full of coloured glass!

Yes, I was happy when I bought it.... but will probably never find another bargain like that.
DeleteMy mother had some of those. It is quite a bargain.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have them tucked away somewhere.
DeleteMy mother collected glass paper weights and some of them are beautiful, like yours.
ReplyDeleteSome of the older paperweights can be worth a lot of money. Do you still have them?
DeleteFantastic reflection and refraction! Not only reflections but also rainbow colors by the glass prism. You have an eye for a bargain.

I really like the bright yellow colour too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a deal! And both attractive and useful, a winning combination.
ReplyDeleteOh well done Shammi, well spotted, you got yourself a real bargain there, pretty too 💛
