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.

    It's very hard to find mercury glass and yours are so unique and lovely. I'd keep them out all year too.

    Happy Silver Sunday!

    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?

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

    I think those mercury glass birds are amazing. I think you should leave them out all year...they are just too pretty to store them away!

    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!
