Mart your right, I just need to get more hands on, and I have only been trying to educate myself for less than a year now on the vintage and antique, I love being able to trade thoughts with you guys, and reading the threads, its helping me along wonderfully. Also I see what your saying with phases, you even see that in pop-culture and fashion, I will keep an eye out for the rhythm of repetition and those slight differences...     

Thanks again.

Also remember that whatever the similarities,, there are also glitches that follow no rule !!

Glass is probably one of the most difficult  antiques to get a handle on!! It all comes with time & as Tales said the more you handle it  the easier it will be! Buy all and any antique books on glass you can find. As mart said " there are also glitches that follow no rule "   Glass is a challenge but my favorite of all!!

I also love glass Wendy - if I could I would take all my furniture out of the living room - line it with curios and china closets and fill them all with different glass!!!  Ahhhh one can dream   :D
