It's my favourite not 'cause it's good or anything, but just 'cause I made it - with a little (or a lot) of help from my tutor on the day. This wonderful "vessel" is also featured in another message, such is its versatility.

 

Wow - I'm really impressed Kev!  I wish I had chosen to do glassmaking instead of piff-paff-paffing about with textiles and ceramics in my student days! :mrgreen:   It must be a great feeling producing your own piece of glass.  I have trouble blowing a balloon up these days! :wink:

Well done Kevin, not just for the example, but also for having linked the two threads of opposites... Hmm... if we had rules I think you probably just broke them - thank chaos for anarchy

As you can see, all the Tinypics have vanished from this thread. Do any of you have photographs to match your contributions? If so, could you append these to new posts, and I'll restore them.

Thanks, everyone!

This has proven more difficult than I expected, I have been looking at all of my glass and trying to pick another favourite  :?  it i almost impossible as lots of them have that category. I have had to sel a lot of glass in the past two years and that had the benefit of weeding out all of my 'less than favourites' Now I am left with favourites....

However, I have one group that is definitely a big favourite and that is my Lindean Mill graal pieces http://www.ysartglass.com/Frank/LindeanMill.htm

Can the link be updated to this one please: Click on images: LINK

Here's my original image - Italian red vases.
Can I sneak in two of my current faves?    A heavy, as yet unidentified beak vase, thought most likely to be Swedish, and a Frantisek Vizner bowl.

I think the Mdina bowl I was referring to was this one, on the left. It's next to a "normal" Chinese key bowl.

I need to get the camera put on a different setting to retake the Phil Atrill - it's too big for macro. Michael's been fiddling with it.

(I've not forgotten  you need a pic. of my Siddy Langley too, Anne )

I do need to add these two pieces to the title of this thread, though - I didn't have them then.

All of 3.75" tall. Glorious! I don't just fondle it, I cuddle it.

Cathy, my missing pic is now at:

(I did not update this myself in the thread as I thought it would be tidier for you to note it here. But I might try to find the other message I referenced and see if the pic is also missing from there.)
