This stuff came from a large empty field/lot. this was maybe 1/4th of the stuff burried there but I got booted off by the so-called owner. I will have to keep a eye on the land, maybe someone else will buy the land soon.

Those are some nice finds! The Bixby is called prussian blue, it`s cobalt with a greyish tint to it. I recently sold one on eBay in very good condition for $166.00. This color is a little bit harder to find than the regular cobalt blue, and is certainly a great find! Keep us posted on any other finds you make this summer!

Thanx for the info, good to know the bixby should still have some value with the slight damage.

The bottom was pretty much loaded with glass.

Just the way I like them.
