[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 105872, member: 51"]Happy new year all, wondered if you could give me thoughts on something and unfortunately I don't have photos. A few days ago I was in a consignment store and they were just putting out a collection of delicate red glass. It was paper thin, so seemed to have some age, and was painted with scenes all around, I would say in the style of some Salviati pieces I've seen online, but I'm not an expert. It was not totally inexpensive (around $25 per four pieces) and I passed on all of it as I wasn't quite sure if resale would be worth it and it just seemed so fragile and kind of a hassle to ship. It was a somewhat large collection, 4 sherbets, 4 champagnes, 4 aperitif glasses, dessert plates, salad plates, trying to recall, maybe $125 if I was to purchase all of it. Of course it might not still be there, but it was sort of in a corner under a book shelf, so maybe. I just got thinking as I was looking something else up tonight, and saw a few Salviati pieces that looked similar -- similar style in any case. On the off chance this was Moser or something at that level, would one expect to see such a full set? Or would that suggest it was something else? The last time I had glass this thin and delicate (one of the main features here) it was Czech. I know kind of vague...and no photos. Thoughts appreciated. The store is a little out of the way, but I could swing by and see if it was still there... Thanks.[/QUOTE]
