2. The decorative pieces were lovely. And interesting colours on the insulators.

I just saw where a collection of them has an opening bid of some $3,400.

7. Thanks!

My collection of four might bring $50. The rarest is the amethyst.

12. I have never seen insulators in anything but green. Those are gorgeous

My daughter has a very large Mason jar that is probably 100 years old. It is blue and not as transparent as the one shown here. I think it is 1/2 gallon but not sure. I had it for a long time and gave it to her.

She saves her loose change in it.

16. About the Mason jar...

I found it along with many old bottles and other intact artifacts by digging in a refuse dump by an old stone house the family owned in the early 1970s.

19. Neat! Margaret's came from the house my parents lived in

It was left there by the owner who was an ancient old lady. The house was built in 1921 so the jar is probably at least that old.

3. Lovely. The top one is a railway insulator, as are a couple of the others.

8. Thanks! There are four insulators.

5. Like that. Used to have some old glass insulators. Nice work.

9. Thanks!

6. Beautiful colors

And stunning photos. The dark backgrounds especially make the colors pop.

11. Thanks!

I'm experimenting with lighting and backgrounds.

13. What is the last one? Is it an overhead view of the red dish further up the thread?

whatever it is, it is beautiful. I love that red dish and the green basket.

[Mousetoescamper]

14. It's an overhead of a bowl that belongs to the same set as the ruby-glass candlestick holder.

I inherited the set from my mother. There are three other candlestick holders as well.

The basket and glasses were my grandmother's.

Thanks!

15. Wow, my dear Mousetoescamper!

I don't think I've ever seen such beautiful and amazing objects, lit as superbly as these are!

The colors are so rich and the backgrounds show them off brilliantly.

I'd say you're not experimenting; you're creating something astonishing.

17. Thanks! Lots of trial and error.

18. Now, don't sell yourself short! These are great.
