The Vintage Glass That’s Quietly Gaining Value Among Collectors

Video Description

They told us this glass had no value. We proved them wrong. 🔴 George's Lymphoma GoFundMe: https://bit.ly/4k0WUIC So many colors, patterns, shapes, and stories—glass collecting is more than just fairy lamps and swung vases. In this special conversation with a passionate glass club in Des Moines, Washington, we uncover forgotten treasures and open the door to collecting opportunities many resellers still overlook. What types of glass are slipping under the radar? Collectors in the know already recognize names like Pilgrim Art Glass and Sydenstricker fused glass. We explore why these companies deserve a closer look—especially before attention surges during key anniversaries, like the upcoming 50th for Mt. St. Helens ash glass. Black light reveals more than uranium glass. We shine the spotlight on Akro Agate, McKee jadeite, Tiffin Twilight, and the stunning magic of neodymium and cadmium pieces that glow in all the right ways. Some say “nobody wants” Depression or Elegant glass anymore. But today’s savvy collectors are proving them wrong—again. We showcase Cambridge Caprice, etched Fostoria, cut Heisey, and even Waterford stems from the 1980s that are drawing serious attention. You’ll also see unexpected antique finds, like a syrup pitcher with an unusual Early American Pattern design sold right at the show, and glass commemoratives honoring the U.S. Navy and President McKinley. Ever wonder how trunk vases fit in with swung vases? We show you. Have questions about milk glass? You’re not alone. We highlight the most collectible examples—those hand-decorated by Fenton and Westmoreland, or adorned with delicate Charleton florals. Glass trends aren’t just about what’s loudest online. We’re seeing a quiet comeback for overlooked colors—teal, yellow, jewel tones, cranberry—and a rise in demand for once-forgotten forms like muffineers, towel bars, silhouettes, and even costume jewelry. If you’ve ever felt like today’s trends just don’t reflect what you love, this video is for you. We’re here to show what’s truly out there—and to celebrate the wide, colorful, and ever-surprising world of glass. 👉 Remember to like, comment, and subscribe for more antique & vintage adventures across the country! ———————————————————— ☀️ Do you want more info about an item you own?
