The Purpose of Obsolete Antiques

Hello, I'm Statia Widak and I'm from Plainville, Massachusetts and I love collecting glass it is my hobby. I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. There are pieces that I haven't been able to identify such as this beautiful vase it's got a nice pattern to it but I have not found it and I'm sure it's out there but I haven't been able to identify that. Then we have this here it could be the sculpture, but I would have to look at that. I'm sure it's Hicey and I'm sure it's about fifty years old at least. Then we have a chicken, it could be a fairly inexpensive piece of crystal and I've, I have many chickens but this I cannot tell you where it comes from who made it anything like that. People will buy unidentified pieces because if they do enough research they can come up with an answer as to where it comes from and who made it. I have another piece I haven't identified I thought it was very, very pretty. I think it's new it's a heavy, heavy glass and it's a very pretty glass and I would say it's about thirty years old but I have not found who made it or the pattern. I haven't found the pattern on that.
