I like to have special touches in my bathroom. I have this mint green glass tumbler I found at a thrift shop. (I also have disposable cups available) This just looks so pretty. The picture is in the guest room, on a bed table, but I really need red or pink for that room. My bathroom is green and so it sits in there. I am the only one who uses it. I really like colored and antique glass ware. This one is very heavy and sturdy. I like to see pictures of glass and collectibles from other places as well.

A very pretty piece, probably green depression glass. Lovely.

No, it is not depression glass, it is heavier. I think it is more contemporary. I have a sugar bowl or pitcher that is green depression glass. It is just a pretty thing that caught my eye.

@BelleStarr And the fact that is pretty is all that counts for me at this time. I am enjoying it and liked being able to share a picture.

@GardenGerty It is not a pattern I am familiar with but there are so many, at any rate it is pretty.

I am not positive it is antique. It is quite heavy, though. I love old glass for sure. Here they are coming out with some pretty modern colored glass in places like Wal Mart.

Glow in the dark or when? It does not glow in the dark because it would be easier to find in the dark if it did.

@GardenGerty i think you have to use a "black light" on it..but if it's uranium glass it "glows" a bit

@GardenGerty Each thrift shop visit is a treasure hunt.

It is really cool. I never knew much about Thrift Shops until I worked in one. I found things I could not find anywhere else that I needed and bought a beautiful down coat. I love Thrift Shops.

I bet the entire set of that would be handsome to have up on the shelf.
