Vintage Glass Vase

I went the one of the thrift store that's out in the middle of no where and right next to the Monterey dump. Last Chance Mercantile benefits homeless veterans. They don't have much but what they do have is usually very over priced so I don't shop there too often. What they do get (sometimes) is estate artwork by local artists. With the weather being so nice and I'm suppose to be on an art retreat, I decide to make the drive. I mean looking at artwork counts, right?

While I was there some women were looking at this glass vase. One making a comment it was vintage (which it is) and maybe there other friend would like it. I could tell even from a distance that it had a purple tint, meaning it was made with uranium. It does glow but it's not super bright. It was on the rack with the all the cheap glass vases and marked for only $5, so I picked it up. I walked right passed it an would not have even seen it if I didn't hear the ladies talking about it. :) 

I also found a pyrex baking dish for $5. I'm slowly replacing all my  lower case Pyrex baking pans with the old ones that have all capital letters. The new ones (lower case) can shatter if exposed to high oven heat. I've been waiting for some to come into the store but so far no luck.
