    I've never collected much glass,but I saw these 2 pieces at the Thrift today,and wondered-are they worth $7.99 each ? They're about 4 1/2" high,pressed not cut and I didn't see any chips/dings.
    Thanks a ton for the help.

    The glass collectors have been lamenting for quite a few years that the EAPG demand and sale prices have tanked, even before the 2019 auction listed above. Can't hardly give it away. I really don't know what is going on. Maybe there are certain patterns that are still sought after. I'm assuming you tried searching in ebay completed auctions...? Or, if you can find any in live auctions still in progress, you could watch till the end and see what happens.

    Laura-I'm aware of the big drop in EAPG & get really nervous with buying glass.I'll sleep better tonight-wonderful work !
    You know the stuff really is beautiful but all things have their time-prices come & go.
    Andy Warhol slumped hugely & Caravaggio was forgotten for centuries.
    Thanks again big time !

    It's a shame isn't it, this pattern was made 1910 through 1920, so they're over 100 years old, so pretty and in such good condition.

    I wouldn't have pegged them for EAPG.

    @moreotherstuff What would you have thought if you came upon them and saw them for the first time in real life, if you were out poking around the junque shops?

    I'd probably have thought modern and eastern European. Maybe not.

    I trhink it's the intensity of the color that's throwing me off. I've had color washed EAPG, but it's always shown very obvious wear.

    I think the ruby red on this glass is flashed not stained. It sure looks like it from the pictures. Doesn't look faded or worn at all.

    all EAPG like this is ruby stained. look closely at the first images and you can see the uneven ruby lines that would be sharply cut if flashed

    I noticed that it is kind of wavery around the edges, but it looks so thick and glossy in the pictures, I thought it just has to be glass! That Cambridge ruby stain must be tough stuff!

    @bosko69 It just to dawned on me. Now that you have the glass at home and in hand, can you find the word nearcut on the bottom?

    I can't see any type on the base,but it's also like trying to tiny script in a hall of mirrors.From what I've seen-it would be in a clear flat circle in the middle of the base (raised letters I beleive).

    the NEARCUT marking was often on the inside bottom of the glass, but not always included on every pattern piece
