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.

Thanks, all, for your kind words!  I have to admit what's in the window at the moment is more of an accumulation than a conscious arrangement.  I'm not orthodox when it comes to what I really like personally, which is why collecting mostly crystal/colorless glass works for me at the moment.

Both the Wikkala vase and the Boda (not Kosta, as I said earlier) head on stand were thrift (charity) shop finds, and I didn't pay much for either.  It's a benefit of being a full-time dealer: occasionally you're allowed to keep something good because you didn't pay that much for it.  >:D

Looking at the pictures, I'm surprised by how much Kosta/Boda I have at the moment.  I'd say I like Orrefors better than Kosta, but my collection seems to say otherwise.

Here's one more, with more colored (mostly Scandi) pieces in it.  It's the top of the IKEA shelves that also hold my LP collection.
