Hi Dr. Lori I just wanted to tell you that my mom also collected elephant's. She passed away in December of 2018. I recently found your channel. You are extremely smart! Thanks for the knowledge!

Thank You So Much! As a reseller it's impossible to be fully versed about everything- and glass is its own animal!

Early American pressed glass from the early to mid 1800's can also be quite valuable. For example some mold made historic flasks from the early to mid 1800's can be worth thousands. Even an early pressed glass shot glass can be worth a lot to a collector. I've seen some sell for up to $200. It all depends on the rarity and condition.

I look at things as I wonder...is this something valuable? I've learned so much from your videos and laughed at the same time. The funniest doctor I've met.When I get organized I'll gather up some or many of my items for your expert opinion.I'm sizing down but I'll be more careful of what I keep and what goes - thanks to you!

I just found you on YouTube and at the end of this video you say we can send you a picture of glass we are trying to identify. I am brand new to thrifting and have found a particular piece of blown glass (vase) that I can’t find anything about. Looks like Murano glass but have made myself half blind scrolling through pictures on the web. Can you help?
I’m so happy I found your videos!! So helpful.

My mother passed away last year, she left me with ALOT of antique jewelry and glass and China, many things to list. I really need help finding out the value of these items, I don't know where to go for this. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your videos!

When I was a little girl my grandma gave me and several cousins of mine some blown glass figurines I wanted to know if there's a vintage blown glass or collectors because I'm in my 50's and I'm the only one with my full collection of 4. I don't know if there is vintage for blown glass or anything about it would you know if there is.
