[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 26744, member: 88"]I took them to the auction last night & my buddy told me they are definitely glass & not some type of mineral. He found a couple of tiny bubbles in the one he looked at with his loupe. I did some looking around with the flint glass lead & I think it might be a real possibility. Some of the older drawer pulls & curtain tie-back pieces had the same opalescence I see in these bowls. I think for now I am just going to hold onto them & put them on a shelf until I can find something a little more concrete to put into a listing. I sold 2 pieces off the shelf for more than I paid for the shelf at the auction so I am good. ;) Thanks to everyone for the help with these pieces!!! :kiss:[/QUOTE]
