Questions About Vintage Glass Terrarium
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    How you take care of a glass terrarium will depend on what’s inside. For the outside, it’s best to use a damp cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. For the inside, it will depend on the contents. If you’re unsure how to treat the contents of a terrarium, remove it and wipe the inside of the terrarium with a damp cloth. Browse a variety of antique terrariums on 1stDibs.

    To tell if vintage Cartier glasses are real, first look for the brand's logo on the outside of the arms. It should be spelled correctly and in the French luxury fashion house's iconic gold-toned italic font. Because some vintage pieces may lack serial numbers and other markings used to identify contemporary eyewear, you may wish to enlist the help of a licensed appraiser or knowledgeable dealer for assistance with authentication. Explore a selection of Cartier glasses on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The easiest way to tell if a bead is glass or plastic is to feel it. Glass beads will be cooler to the touch, whereas plastic beads will be closer to room temperature and warm up quickly in your hands. Another test you can perform is to listen to the sound. Glass has a distinctive ring since it’s harder whereas plastic is softer and has a duller sound. Shop a range of vintage glass bead pieces on 1stDibs.
