Silver Sunday~ Vintage Mercury Glass Bird Collection


I shared this picture of part of my Vintage mercury bird collection during the holidays.

but several of the Silver Sunday readers have mentioned how much they LOVE mercury glass



so I decided to show them again.







I haven't put them away yet. In fact I may leave them out on display all year round...

We'll see. I might be tired of them by April.

  6. I remember seeing your bird post. I know nothing about Mercury glass except I saw it very frequently in magazines this Christmas used in decorating. How do you know if a piece is Mercury glass?

  7. Lovely birds, and it's amazing that they have survived, because they look so fragile. Great collection!
    Happy Sunday!

  15. Hi Joan, I guessed I missed these little guys, I don't think I've ever seen these before, really unique, and yo have a great collection. Did you find these all at one time, or gradually locate them? They really are amazing. I love swan figurines.
    Have a wonderful Sunday!
