<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quirkygirl, post: 335350, member: 106&quot;]Here are more photos of the old glass bangle that I found in the $1 bargain bin at a thrift shop. </p><p>I.D. is 2¼&quot; (5.6 cm)&nbsp; </p><p>At first I thought that it might have been from the top of one of those Chinese sewing baskets, but I have yet to see one with raised applied glass decorations ... plus it&#039;s a bit large for these.</p><p>Could maybe get it over my left hand if I forced it (and oiled myself up ... and avoided any salt or fluids for days <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />) ... but when searching for others, I&#039;m finding some that are really, REALLY old ... I don&#039;t want to risk breaking it if it&#039;s something more than a novelty piece.</p><p>It is decorated with little flowers made with red and yellow raised glass dots, raised white glass elongated ovals, and patterns pressed into the surface. </p><p>I have not washed this, which is probably obvious.&nbsp; In some areas, there is the &#039;sheen&#039; one sees on glass bottles that have been buried in dirt for a while ... not sure it shows up well in the photos, though.</p><p>Anyone familiar with glass jewelry like this?</p><p>I&#039;m wondering if it&#039;s just kinda old or could it be really REALLY (centuries) old?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]112361[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]112362[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]112363[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]112364[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]112365[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]112366[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]112367[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]112368[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
