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.

  1. 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.

    1. Yard Sales and Charity shops here will soon be opening up again as Covid restrictions gradually ease.... so I'll be looking for more bargains!

  2. What an amazing find. $25 wouldn't buy it here. I have several glass paperweights and I love them.

    1. Some of the older paperweights can be worth a lot of money. Do you still have them?

  9. Fantastic reflection and refraction! Not only reflections but also rainbow colors by the glass prism. You have an eye for a bargain.
