Oh thank you so much, I have been a collector of art glass for only a few years but it has become my passion/obsession and I spend a lot of time reading reference books and I think I have been the only person to have kicked out of the Blenko museme for online loitering, G2M. I have tons of links to some really great places. I came across a great Italian piece and I spent days and after looking at about 2000 or so images and reading descriptions finally nailed it. Of course I have heard of the greats such as Tapio, I have been fortunate enough to have had some of his early work in my possession, from the Niva and ultiima thule and also the Gaissa collection. Also had a signed "tulipa" from Ulrica? darn last name on the tip of my tongue. And when I get a piece I dont know much/anything about I get really OCD about it. Thank you once again for your kindness so, so appreciated. :girlcheer:
