An unusual CYLINDRICAL piece of OPAQUE WHITE "milk" beach picked sea glass, found on a remote beach in the Pacific Northwest. Perhaps it came from the handle of a pitcher.
This kind of glass is typically Depression-era (to about 1950s), and came from various kinds of serveware and plates. Unlike most sea glass we find, this glassware was heat-tempered, which made it more durable on one hand, but also more brittle, on the other. As result, it is quite rare to find smoothly rounded pieces without chips and fresh breaks. Although not all that rare, colorwise, condition tends to be a problem.
This piece is in excellent condition (uncommon thus), with smooth all-over frosting and softly rounded edges. It is perfectly cylindrical at one end and slightly flattened at the other. Measures almost 1 3/8" (34mm) long by around 1/2" (13mm) in diameter. Uncommonly nice example of this kind of glass!

Thank you for looking at items in my eBay store!

I do combine shipping if you buy multiple lots, and I also will combine store and auction purchases if made within a week of each other. Note low shipping costs-- most lots ship via USPS first class mail to save expenses. $5.00 to ship and "handle" a single little piece of glass by Priority Mail strikes me as a bit extravagant. Priority Mail is used for bulkier and heavier items.
Note: All glass I offer for sale on eBay is from my personal collection, and is "natural," as found by me on various local and regional beaches. I do not tumble, treat, oil or otherwise "improve" the glass I sell-- what you see is what you get. I have been a seaglass collector for about 40 years-- since I was six years old. For more information, please see the additional store pages (links at left) about grading, as well as my "About Me" page, or my eBay "My World" profile and blog pages.
