Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

Is it stained, as Steven suggests, or is the glass actually amber?  Looking at the rim a some angles, it seems stained, but it's hard to tell.

Ivo's piece reminds me of Galle's mold blown pieces.  I'm not suggesting it is, it just reminds me of them.  Ivo, do you know the technique the patent was for?

The detail on these piece is so fine, I'd be very impressed if they could be made using the type of mold in the patent Frank showed...BWDIK about pressed glass molds and the feats they can achieve?  Not much!

Both interesting pieces, fer sher.
