Why You Shouldn't Buy Czechoslovakian Glassware

Video Transcript

Okay, we are going to look at some beautiful glassware, now doesn’t this look a rare antique? Okay, I was fooled by these too, until I learned better and you know how I learned better? I went to Czechoslovakia, excuse me it is hard to pronounce, I went to Czechoslovakia, this is like going to Mexico and buying all that stuff like copies and stuff. This is a trinket, this is Czechoslovakian glassware items, they look really ornate because they have a beautiful golden casting on them but you want to avoid these because this in Czechoslovakia probably cost about a dollar. Okay so once people have all these things and they bring them home and they are sitting at the garage sale or in your local antique mall marked twenty-five, guess what? It is going to be sitting there for twenty-five years because this is not worth twenty-five, this is worth about two dollars. So when you see these, don’t be fooled just because there is some gilding on it that looks gold, don’t buy it, this thing is very new and very common, trust me I’ve been to Czechoslovakia.
