I just had my wedding in November and I have a great collection of hobnail milkglass that I used exclusively for all of my centerpieces and other decor such as the vases for the bridesmaid's bouquets and floral decor for the escort card table, gift table, etc.
I absolutely love this stuff and committed myself to acquiring all milkglass for my wedding. I was only ever able to find one lot, of about 23 pieces, on craigslist, and the rest of it I had to buy PIECE BY PIECE on ebay and pay shipping!
I've attached some photos of the lot as a whole, it's 102 pieces. All of it is the real, vintage, Fenton milkglass which is bright white, except for 23 pieces which are an odd assortment of the knock-off stuff you get at thrift shops, which is less bright white. You can see the diffference in the photos. These are able to be spray painted bright white if the bride feels like undertaking that endeavor, I learned that in a DIY blog online
I tried one out and it looked great, but we did not feel like doing that for the rest of the 23 pieces, so I just left them
The total I spent on the milkglass was $1,517. I'd like to sell it as a lot for $1,000 or best offer, because I know I would have appreciated just buying it as a lot when I was on the hunt, and because I think it's more valuable as a lot.
Please contact me by email if you are seriously interested in the milkglass. You're welcome to come see it in person if you live locally in Tampa. hwiseman@gmail.com
Thanks!
