[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 127550, member: 267"]I see it too, and I stopped buying glass a long time ago - One store I worked for in SF that had an extremely high turnover on wonderful Mid Century everything wouldn't touch anything that hinted at being an ashtray, no matter how good it was - most of it looks like ashtrays to me :) But I thought something like this was far better than most decent but ordinary stuff I see for under $20. But I guess the "taste," that indefinable thing that gets buying appetite up, is gone for glass. Buyers have seen everything, and now aren't satisfied with buying what's left over from the knowledgeable collectors, and have either moved on (to collecting something different, or decorating in a different style) or have access to better glass. Someone like OwnedbyBear likely knows exactly what to buy - and what not.[/QUOTE]
