Every so often I look up Pāte de Verre for some reason or another. Each time I find myself at this website. It is has a great section on how Pāte de Verre is made, with step by step visuals. The finished vase they show is superb. Just thought I'd share :)

It's absolutely gorgeous and reminds me of an Emile Galle marquetrie cameo vase.
