Featured Odd green glass Murano? ring

Indeed fabulous, especially if the glass is so old. Congratulations, KSW!

 

Another score. I still think incompetence is spreading to the thrifts.

 

If they are younger people pricing this stuff they may not have a clue and as you thought- that is ugly so priced accordingly. My sister and I were removing items from the bank boxes. The young teller was struggling with getting the doors relocked . There were 4 keys on our ring. She got the first one locked and then tried the other three and mumbled " I don't understand why they wont lock ; the first one was fine". I said "did you try the other keys" . Almost like they can't problem solve. No offense to our younger members. Maybe it is just lack of experience.

 

Erm,@Ownedbybear is this the ‘same’ thing?

 

I have nothing to add but I do want to say that I'm absolutely flabbergasted. What a find KSW, congrats! That does look the same to my (completely uneducated) eye, I would be screaming haha

 

Woaaahhhh! Same to my eyes! Bravo!!!!

 

KSW, I also think these pieces are identical to your find although I am no expert at all. Amazing find!

 

Thanks Rachel! I’m flabbergasted too. (Great word that, we don’t use it often enough)
Astonishing to think what was going on in the world that long ago and whose hand made this glass.
Not often a piece of glass upstages 18k gold.

 

I am astonished. Huge thanks to @Ownedbybear for the guidance.

 

Wow,very interesting thread. Great find! Well done!!

 

Absolutely! Bring up so many questions! Its amazing something like glass can survive so long without being completely shattered.

When it does its always good then! Good to note

 

DINGDINGDING! And for two quid! I thought I was doing well today to score a modern Tiffany silver brooch for 3 bucks. That thing is ROMAN!

 

Oh yes. Nice Roman canes.

I am seriously envious, as you may guess.

 

After looking at your ring, an ad that popped up in my e-mail looked like this:

 

Find of the year for sure! Items with such age seem to have an invisible weight to them. The gravitas of history I suppose. Irresistible.

 

Maybe a modern Roman guy...

 

Now I'm getting that same set of green and black shirts too!

 

I haven’t

 

I'm more partial to the guy in the shirts. (of course with my luck he's gay and young enough to be my son, but.... )
