Is this consider art glass?

Hi. Can anyone provide me some info on this vase please? It has an artificial flower (rose) inside the glass. The vase is 17.5cm tall. No markings on the base
Many thanks in advance.

Arte you sure it's glass and not perspex? You can't encase an artificial flower in glass unless it's made of glass or ceramic; it would just burn up

Pics are not large enough, it could be a lampwork flower, just cannot tell from the pics. But if plastic it will no feel as cold to the touch as glass and be a lot lighter.

What problem are you having with loading larger pics? Yours images are well below the Board limits in terms of both Kb size and image pixel size.

I am sure you may have looked at the Techie Tips in the Board Help & Announcements section, but a review of the following may help:

TECHIE TIPS: Posting Pictures - Guidelines and how to
TECHIE TIPS: Why your picture won't upload despite being just less than 125kb
TECHIE TIPS: Resizing images to fit the board; Paint Shop Pro & Image Optimiser

If you still have trouble, please email pics to me (click on the email icon below my user details on the left) and I will try to sort them out for you.
