Calling All Milkglass People

So, according to my research, this is a creamer or sauce pitcher by Indiana glass in the "grape and leaves" pattern. Am I right so far? What I don't understand, though, is that I see lots of milkglass items referred to as "grape and leaves" that don't look like this. Are there many grape and leaf motifs? This item is a creamy opaque milkglass...how does this compare to the more translucent varieties? The value for something like this appears to be all over the place; the condition is as near to mint as one can get. I thought $20 was a fair price, but now that I did an Etsy search, it seems $10 is more reasonable. Bummer. All thoughts are appreciated!!

Sunday's Secondhand Score


It was about 6 months ago that an ugly crash sounded from my bathroom; hubby had somehow knocked our pottery soap dish to the floor. Horrors! While I could have replaced it a million times over by now, I just wasn't moved to do so. Until Friday, when I rested my eyes on this sweet little guy! Vintage Avon (1971).... wish I had looked so good when I was 38 years old. I'm pretty sure I gave out an audible "hoot hoot" right there in the Salvation Army. Hey, it wouldn't be the first time! Have you had any fab thrift finds lately? Do share!
