Milk Glass Info and Collection

[@FayeWerley-do6nm]

Enjoyed your video. I have two corner cupboards loaded with all Fenton milk white hobnail. Including a punch bowl and cups displayed in my living room. No duplicates ! I gave my daughter-in-law two lamps you showed at the end. I also have the short lamps in bedrooms. I also have a cupboard with Fenton pink hobnail. I also have blue, red, and brown pieces, all Fenton. My husband and friends visited the Fenton factory and showroom in West Virginia about twelve years ago. Wow ! I bought a hobnail ring plus many other pieces besides hobnail. It was going to close up because sales were so bad. There were only four people left painting the decorative pieces. We were told people are no longer interested in purchasing art glassware! So sad. But I love my collections.

[@margareteburk147]

I JUST ACROSS YOUR VIDEO, GREAT PIECES. HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA WE DON'T FIND ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT YOU HAVE, BUT I STILL COLLECT IT. I MANAGED TO GET A LAMP. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR INFORMATION . GREAT VIDEO

[@ICUDOUCME52]

It is so refreshing to listen to someone who is knowledgeable about her co!section and can educate listeners accurately. I know enough to know you've done your homework. I collected silver crest for a period and have about 20 pieces. I stopped collecting as I don't have display space to do it justice. Keep up the good work!

[@maxandshoji]

Nancy Anderson Thank you so much for watching. Yes I do try to research every piece I like. There are lots of fakes out there. I hope I have helped you identify some of of your pieces😊

[@sideshw9439]

When I first discovered hobnail milk glass i fell right in love with it. Whoever decided to take Translucent white pottery and cover it with tiny spikes was a genius. I love my collection. Even my cat's food dish is a Fenton 😁

[@madonnahagedorn5649]

Wow! What a lovely collection. Just beautiful. There's just something special about milk glass. I have a large salad bowl and 6 individual serving bowls all with a leaf pattern from my mother in law who gave them to me before she passed on this last Mother's Day of 2024. Do you know anything about this style? Any information is helpful. Thank you.

[@carolynsaunders2011]

Beautiful piece. I just started to collect milk glass and love it

[@viviansmith8036]

All beautiful 💕. The Canister jar that was on top of the cake stand is Anchor Hocking. It's translucent, the hobs are soft and flatter. It's actually a Biscuit jar and when the lid is missing people sell it as an ice bucket. It's the same as your A.H. vases in the other video. Enjoyed the video and learned a lot.

[@vickipro4373]

How about current prices on these pieces.

[@mariareyesireallyailp7852]

I love all your pieces. Thanks for sharing.

[@IchNaturally]

Beautiful pieces! Thanks for sharing!

[@DEEDEE2000ful]

That last piece...The gorgeous lamp is a show stopper!!! Midway into the video, I realized that I own one milk glass item...A tiny vase...after thinking I had nonw. Thanks

[@HelpMamaRemote]

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm laughing at you collecting cake plates. I collect them too and pitchers and pyrex and punch bowls lol Not sure if you did the video of your other collections but I'll search your channel.

[@pursenbootz]

have some silver crested, but have never seen the Spanish Lace until you! I'm still very much learning glass. Its a really beautiful journey!

[@heavenboundfarm2159]

We have the white bent bowl you have another bowl inside it

[@Philathai]

I agree. They are beautiful places. I have a few myself. My daughter unfortunately is not interested in any and of other collections I have. These kids are so missing out.

[@anallanes02]

Beautiful pieces. I too collect milk glass, but not for the brand or anything like that, just because I like the pieces. I have many pieces with markings and many without. I just love them all. TFS. ana

[@jeanellecain6842]

What a beautiful collection sweetheart... Absolutely in love with each and every gorgeous piece.... Thank yoiu so very much for sharing...

[@maxandshoji]

Jeanelle Cain Awww thank you for your sweet comment! Also for watching! Elaine

[@nellielongoriamonreal2966]

Wow. Love it. I just started collecting. I'm learning too.

[@magdacortes4698]

Good evening from South Gate California. Great information. I'm barely starting my collection and the history is helpful when i find something. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you i learned something new today.

[@cholman4248]

I have several of the pieces that you have shown. Mostly Fenton Hobnail is what I collect. Thank you for explaining to people what to look for.

[@JeanJean-lz5qp]

I am collecting MILK GLASS. Your pieces are more unique than mine. However, I do have a few pieces similar to yours. Your pieces are ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@maxandshoji]

Hi Laura, thanks for your lovely comments. Lamps are really easy to find. I have several in each room. I need to quit buy lamps, but they are so adorable. Good luck on your milk glass finds. Lorraine

[@mrscottoncandydarlinglife]

Thank you so much for sharing , you have a lovely collection !!!

[@maxandshoji]

MrsCottonCandy DarlingLife Thank you so much for watching! Elaine

[@annettecastellanosguillen9491]

Beautiful pieces

[@vickiem3696]

So Pretty! Thank you for sharing your collection and knowledge.

[@DD-d6d3]

just an FYI. I grew up in Westmoreland County and lived there when the plant closed. It was actually the closing of all the steel mills that did in Westmoreland Glass. nice collection. I collected Fenton and Westmoreland for many many years and still have a couple of swung Bud vases.

[@maxandshoji]

Thank you so much for watching and leaving me a comment. These pieces are getting more and more difficult to find. It is an addiction lol but I guess it's okay for such a beautiful collection. Have an awesome day! Elaine

[@scrapngigi]

Now I know where to go shopping at, I'll just come to your house and shop LOL. Very nice collection. Thanks for all the pointers

[@maxandshoji]

So sorry about the broken switch. I fix my lamps all the time. when I get a new one, I inspect the cord, bulb housing, etc, and replace it with parts from Lowe's. You don't want to start a fire with all the old fittings. Look there to see if they may have the part you need. Take the lamp with you, and ask for help. The guys at my Lowe's are always so helpful. Lorraine

[@Scorpio-me1028]

I have the beaded trim square Westmoreland just like yours with fruit and on the inside of the lid there is a marking AW. I also found 3 lamps for a stand up lamp that I converted. Also , 4 other table lamps

[@maxandshoji]

FAVAof4 That's so exciting!!! Wonderful finds. Thank you so much for watching! Elaine

[@dwightlindgron4657]

Just love Fenton milk glass hobnail my collection is enormous!

[@maxandshoji]

How sweet of you. I have watched some of your video collection too. You have some great pieces. Lorraine

[@Sue7777000]

[@MyFeatheredNest]

Holy Moly!!! Your collection is my goal!!!😊❤️

[@topcropper]

You have a beautiful collection! Tfs! Tina

[@debmart59]

You have some beautiful pieces.

[@corndogsforthehorndawgs6640]

Very informative video! I've been interested in milk glass for years but very hesitant because there is so much out there, scare of over paying. I do have a few pieces that I bought because I just love them but now I'm excited to search with the knowledge you have given me.

[@maxandshoji]

That's awesome! Glad I could help with the information I have learned over the years. Thank you so much for watching!

[@libbygibson5612]

Beautiful Collection

[@Jorjafox1000]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of milk glass. I too wish to collect however other then ebay very difficult to find in my neck of the woods. That being northwestern Canada. Plse keep sharing love too look at and hear about them.

[@maxandshoji]

Thank you for mentioning that there are different colored glass that Fenton makes. I do have a couple pieces of colored glass. I may show that in my next video. Thank you for watching! Lorraine

[@barbbrada5170]

Thank you!

[@cutecalmcozy]

OMGGGGGG SO GORGEOUS... THAT FIRST PIECE IS MY FAAAAV

[@maxandshoji]

I can't help it!! I'm still on the hunt for more! Thank you for watching Elaine

[@Lauras0801]

You have such a beautiful collection! I'm just getting started collecting and am quickly becoming addicted! I'd love to get a lamp at some point.

[@sharoncrawford3042]

I have a black fenton bud vase bought in the 70s. Its marked. I have the ruby red hobnail basket without a handle thats marked. Have a small green vase from the 50s, not marked.

[@aanon5716]

i esp like the fenton spanish lace vase. the clear glass edging is lovely & different. 5:01

[@maxandshoji]

s mast Thank you so much for watching. Hope this was helpful.

[@debbiehayslrtte]

This was wonderful. Tfs,Debbie

[@nicovasa]

Was the cake stand in one of your books? Lately ppl keep selling them as Indiana glass but I can’t find book or ad proof.

[@maxandshoji]

You may be correct. I’ll have to do further research. Thank you

[@maxandshoji]

Thank you Tina for watching my videos! I appreciate your comments. Lorraine

[@scrapmaniac63]

Thanks for all the info. You have some amazing pieces. Where do you find them all? Eryn

[@claraslate]

Simply gorgeous collection. Have you collected any other pieces since?

[@maxandshoji]

I am always on the lookout for unique pieces. Last year I found a punch bowl with ladle and cups! Beautiful! Thank you for watching!

[@sharonlehmann8970]

gorgeous pieces

[@maxandshoji]

Thank you so so much for watching! Elaine

[@maxandshoji]

I forgot to answer your question on where I find my pieces. I usually go to antique stores. They are a little more expensive, but most of them tend to have the markings of the maker on them, so that way I know that the piece is authentic. Now that I am familiar or knowledgeable about certain pieces, I tend to look everywhere. LOL Lorraine

[@sharoncrawford3042]

The fenton glass company is in Williamson, West Virginia. They are no longer open.

[@RoseOriginals]

Lovely collection! I'm so envious of your larger matching lamps. I've been looking for a while but haven't come across any. Thank you for sharing!

[@maxandshoji]

Thank you for watching Vickie! Lorraine

[@bluecottonbykammy7199]

Fenton Brothers also had a line of baby clothes.

[@maxandshoji]

Blue Cotton By Kammy Ooooo! Do you own any? Would love to see!

[@bluecottonbykammy7199]

I do! It’s packed right now but as soon as we close on our house I’ll look for it.

[@simitjon132]

wowwwwwww.......this is soooo beautiful

[@maxandshoji]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@alove9976]

Having searched through KZbin for Milk Glass videos... Yours is the most informative! What a wealth of information about patterns and manufacturers! I was looking for information about something I learned incorrectly decades ago; I was taught that "true Milk Glass' had a blue-ish transclucent nature when held to light, and 'false Milk Glass' does not. I'm thinking that may apply more to approximate dating of a piece, as it seems to me that newer pieces are generally more opaque. Would you say that is accurate? Thanks for the great information! Cheers ~ Dani

[@alove9976]

PS - Kudos on your collection! Love, love, love especially the English Hobnail. I've never run across that pattern!

[@maxandshoji]

Thank you so much for watching! I use my collection just about everyday! Good luck with your search.

[@MichaelK5543]

You know your stuff! Would you be able to help me analyze an vintage Mickey Mouse milk glass mug? I have seen many of the one I have on ebay; however, there are NO MARKINGS on the bottom of my mug. All the other listings show Fire King/Anchor Hocking. Mine only has a faint scribble underneath that resembles the number 19. Are there any milk glass marks which look like the number 19?

[@maxandshoji]

Thank you for watching! I am not familiar with any of the Disney milk glass. If you can send me a picture of your cup, I will be happy to do some research on your item! Looking forward to seeing something new!

[@mariadoeslife4093]

Westmoreland’s maker’s mark from the 40s thru the 80s is actually a W over a G.......for Westmoreland Glass. I thought it was a C , too. I looked it up, today.

[@maxandshoji]

maria does life thank you for the information. Super helpful!

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

loved your video ...very informative...milk glass collector here also! :)

[@maxandshoji]

Thank you for watching! I need to stop! Lol. I'm not sure if the next generation will even want my collection, but I'm sure enjoying it! Happy hunting and enjoy what you collect! Elaine

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

lol..I hear ya :) me too!

[@siskjan]

Gorgeous collection! tfs ~Jan

[@armandopina739]

love the lamps

[@maxandshoji]

Glad I could share them with you. Lorraine

[@maxandshoji]

I'm hoarding, I mean collecting! Lorraine

[@TheBohemianStyle]

I wish I can say that for myself. Beautiful!

[@sharoncrawford3042]

I have a milk glass Fenton lamp. Not a hurricane lamp. It has a globe top. I bought it new in the 1970s. Paid 35 dollars. I dont know what its worth. It has a marble base on it.

[@Skittles-wvr]

I just bought my mom a couple bud vases from the thrift store today

[@maxandshoji]

Enjoy! Great place to find hidden treasures!

[@carolynheitmiller280]

I have some very pretty milk tops for I am sure these beauties beling to a perfume but my husband n digger buddies never found certain ones to fit them

[@maxandshoji]

I does seem like it is getting harder to find milk glass here too. The prices have really gone up since I first started to collect about 15 years ago. Keep watching ebay, for there are some great deals there, especially when you find a piece that has free shipping. Thank you so much for visiting my channel and for leaving a comment. Lorraine

[@dee4844mz]

I have the planter with the mire square bottom.

[@maxandshoji]

Thank you Jan for watching and for leaving a comment. Lorraine

[@BuyingSpace]

Where do you buy your Fenton?

[@maxandshoji]

Myra Freeman I use to find them at yard sales, antique store, and don’t forget to look for them at thrift stores.

[@7777lizabeth]

Jeanette glass makes the pink milk glass. I bought the same milk glass lamp at the salvation army for 6.99!!!!!!!!!

[@rebeccakempton4889]

Thanks , very helpful!

[@ICUDOUCME52]

Thank you for the video. I have a few of the hobnail, which I like. But, I also have several pieces of silvercrest which I really love. I received my first 2 pieces as wedding gifts almost 45 years ago. As it's become time to down size, I unfortunately have started to sell them. It's very hard to put a price on these pieces. You have a very lovely collection. BTW, have you found a good source to determine present values?

[@maxandshoji]

Thank you for watching and commenting. As far as pricing your pieces, I don't have a source for that. It just depends on what someone is willing to pay for a piece they are needing to complete their collection. Try looking in antique shops as a guide line. Hope this helps. Elaine

[@dee4844mz]

Please do a cake stand video if you can!

[@mylondonlifee]

very informative 👍

[@maxandshoji]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Lorraine

[@maxandshoji]

Thank you, I plan on making another video with different glass companies. Thanks for watching. Lorraine

[@sharoncrawford3042]

I think they didnt start marking fenton until 1970.

[@michaelanon1968]

Hi, where would I go to get an appraisal on this milk glass I have inherited??

[@maxandshoji]

Michael Anon I would just look on line for your piece and see what they are selling for. My collection is basically for my enjoyment and history of the piece. Try looking for items you have in an antique store. That maybe a starting point for you.

[@michaelanon1968]

maxandshoji < Thank you. What kind of value does this stuff have?? I am sure the pieces I have are not old or rare, so just basic value info, if you would? Thanks

[@michaelanon1968]

Oh, is it Max or Elaine?? I see ur referred to both ways..

[@maxandshoji]

Michael Anon You can but it might cost more for the appraisal than the items are worth. If funds are available take your best pieces

[@michaelanon1968]

maxandshoji < Thanks for your time and info Max/Elaine/Lorraine. Lol 😆

[@maxandshoji]

You're welcomed! Lorraine

[@yosupyang2952]

아름다워요

[@paulettekilgore8518]

you need to tell price...

[@maxandshoji]

Thank you for watching. Prices vary depending on where you purchase an piece such as yard sale, estate sale, thrift stores or antique store. I tend to shop at yard sales or thrift stores for the best price.

[@davidnewland2556]

fenton hobnail is pointy other hobnail is rounded, fenton made afew lines of crested white glass emerald crest aqua crest ther're really nice and decorative, I thin there is a ruby crest, very pretty, I have a white punch bowl with cups, I started buying every punchbowl I saw theife told me to stop Ilove glassware but the bottom dropped out of the glass market and most of what I bought I lost money on pink and green depression lost value which i would have never expected. sh well such is life when you speculate with purchases it pays to want to keep what you buy.

[@maxandshoji]

I tend to use what I buy and not invest in something I tend to sell later. It seems that any thing antique is no longer desirable. Maybe in the future the trend will cycle around. TFW

[@debraangoco9643]

It’s pieces For crackers😊

[@Philathai]

Her pieces are really beautiful but Milk Glass is not desirable these days as to the lower cost for its pieces.

[@maxandshoji]

Jewel Graham I totally agree with you. The next generation is not interested and milk glass is no longer desirable. Kinda sad but I still enjoy using and have these pieces. I always say enjoy what you like.
