Mouth blown?!!

Yip they put the lampwork in a blowpipe and fire it into the molten glass
Seriously, is there somebody in the USA that knows if these weights are in the shops and at what price.  I would love to buy one but am not paying the $70 odd international shipping!

GTH, The ground of that weight is intresting although the blobs are a bit big it is very similar to many of the Bohemian weights...something to keep in mind when I see a Boh weight advertised again!

Adam, that's a technique you'll have to try at your next paperweight open day!

Dan, if you're still about, do you still have the original picture please and if so can you add it as an attachment to this topic to keep the info valid? Many thanks.
