popculturizm Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Pretty sure this is a mutant Vitro Opal, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I don't see opalescent glass?? I do see some clear glass areas. Looks more like a trilite to me. I've never seen one in that color combination. So I guess I'd have to see it in hand to be sure. Have you tried backlighting it to see if the glass has fire and ice in it?

popculturizm Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hi and yes - glass has glow in one direction and not thru the clear end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Look at it again with your light and make sure it's the white (opalescent glass) and not the effect of light passing through the orange ribbon. If it's the whitish glass and not the ribbon you probably have an opal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marblemover Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 looks like an older Conqueror, but not an opal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Well, I was trying to get him to come to that conclusion on his own. Guess I wasn't direct enough. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popculturizm Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I don't know about a "Conqueror" they came multi-colored? thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Yes, some of them have a patch and then a "V" in a different color. What makes it difficult is that some of the conquerors do have opalescent glass, but they are not opals. Not enough colors. I have some I could do a photo with, but I'm too tired to do that tonight. We're just in from Houston watching the grandson's baseball team. If I think about it tomorrow I'll do a pic for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
