Honestly, I was only joking. It's really about the philosophy of collecting. Are we collecting like a stamp collector trying to fill in the gaps you have got or get rare colours etc.. or going for the the asthetic and know no boundaries. I go for the asthetic but try to stay within boundaries, but when you see something quality, beautiful, skillfull and cheap, boundaries are there to be broken.
I have a pair of green carafes with prunts on and a roemer style bowl, I think they are German too. That German glass website has been a learning experience.
