No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection.

Looks like it wouldn't break too many ice-cubes before it got broken itself.......
Glass doesn't make a good hammer, particularly not hollow glass.  :sm:

I don't know that you took my initial comment seriously but in the absence of anyone coming up with anything better, if I were you I would send the pics over to the Fulvio Bianconi family's website and ask them very nicely to take a look at them for you!
