In reply to Andrew.

I’ve seen these bowls at Dollar Tree…and the vases at thrift stores as well as my garage! I think they’re really cute…I’ve also seen cups and saucers used as garden decor, just not mushrooms.

Hi Carol. That thing looks like maybe it was an old ashtray stand. That’s my best guess anyway!

I think those glass mushrooms are wonderful! Place them safely and enjoy!

Just be careful your not using valuable, old glass. Once it’s glued, you can’t save it. I have seen very nice antique glass ruined on these kind of creations.

Wow, people…they’re just glass mushrooms made out of cheap, mass-production glass bowls (a dime a dozen at thrift stores) and old FTD vases (I recognize them from my first job as a floral delivery guy during high school! Now there’s a blast from the past).

Glue ’em together, put ’em in the shade, and just marvel at the whimsy, if that’s your idea of a good time 🙂

Be well!

Pretty but other than fire danger mentioned by others, this may be sacrificing valuable “old” glassware.

Can’t make mushrooms. What I am interested in is the metal piece just above the glass mushrooms in the next to last picture…circle top, two arms coming down and kind of spiral below that. I have one exactly like that. Don’t know what it is and really would like to find out. I found a drain cover that fits perfectly on top and we use it as a small table on the deck.

And damaged if it hails!

I live in sw Florida and can attest that these can be fire dangers. Cute for shaded areas but not direct sun
