<p>[QUOTE="rink28, post: 9466998, member: 2498"]I dont buy milk glass either. I see it so much in thrift shops it seems they made too much of it. I do keep an eye out for the cake stands though. Cake stands in different glass companies do sell well. You did good by passing up the clear to opalescent edge fenton piece. Since it's mostly clear glass with a little opalescent edge people are not into clear glass anymore and I think that's why the dealer couldn't sell it since it's mostly clear. Mikasa I bought a few pieces to experiment with. They eventually sold but it took forever but I think the market just isn't there yet for Mikasa. Probably down the road more people will catch on to it. Steuben and waterford still sell well. Shannon crystal I see occasionally at thrifts but I don't buy it because I'm not sure how the market is yet. Baccarat is another good crystal company to look for. Orrefors isn't bad either. Candlewick cake stands still decently but other than the cake stands don't bother with the rest. I'm not a full expert in glass still learning but just going by what works for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
