    amongst the other post I have started with things I recently acquired here are some glass items. Once again I'm amazed by the knowledge on here.

    The red and green birds are Scandinavian art glass. Check Konst or
    FM Konstglas (Ronneby, Sweden.)

    Hi and welcome Prerun - The first item is a miniature basket, possibly Italian.
    As Debora noted, the matching blue and amberina are hobnail votives, could be American but most likely Japanese. Doesn't really matter as there is not much value there. They most likely sat in some kind of wrought iron holder. SBSVC has already ID'd the birds.The blue vase is usually identified as Anchor Hocking. Can't help on the last picture but love the lighting on the glass - trim the bottom half off and you've got a great shot. A bottom shot of the pitcher will tell us if it's hand blown or not. Doesn't guarantee we can make an ID but can help identify possible manufacturers. As johnnycb09 has noted bottom shots are important. No need to be shy - we've all shown our bottoms at one time or another.;)

    I'd have a very hard time calling the orange Votive Amberina. Its orange. Amberina shades from yellow to various reds.

    What are they, as a class? Tchotchkes, they're items made to be sold to people who like bright, colorful little things.

    The collection includes about 200 glass pieces alone and I have no idea where to start. Here is a couple more

    Can't help as much on these except to say I believe the orange and white vase is a Japanese import. I love the bird and the owl but haven't seen them before. Just a couple of more general pointers to help you get your items identified.

    1. It's best not to post multiple groups of items. Some of the folks that saw your first group will assume they've already looked at your post and not realize you just added three more items. Best to start a new thread for the new items.

    2. Size matters - please include at least rough measurements. I'm assuming that your owl is about 4 or 5" tall but it could be anywhere from an inch to a foot and that could make a huge difference in making an ID.

    3. Most of your pictures are beautiful but it's best if the background is plain. The picture of the orange and white vase on the patterned tablecloths is distracting.

    4. Please put glass or pottery in your thread titles. Some folks are generalists like me but others have a truly astounding depth of knowledge in specific areas. A descriptive title helps make sure the right experts see your items.

    Please note these are just suggestions and not rules. There are folks on this board who are absolutely amazing and can tell you all kinds of things from one blurry photo but there are others of us who need as much help as we can get. We'll work with what we got but anything you can do to help us is much appreciated.
