Preperation. That to me is 'workmanship' and time by man/woman would of been most certainly a contribrutary factor in the setting up process regardless on ones taste in the end product/s.
I'm the first to admit I have loads of boring glass.
I'm most certain Christiane that someone out there would like to get their hands on some of your 'lovely' boring glass.
I don't have/purchase boring glass only glass that interest me or to pass on to someone else that may have an interest.
Christine is correct that it's unwise to build them into something they're not.
That definately was not my intentions, for the simple reason, that I am no expert on the subject matter, hence, my initial query as a none-specialist.
Initially I was unaware that these were mass produced. So yes, I do agree that 'Scarce', would be a better way of describing the bowls. Thank you for highlighting that to me. Please excuse my hinglish. Unfortunately it was not one of my most popular subjects. Maths, oh yes! maths, that interest me cuz, I needed to make sure I wazn't ripped off whilst in a game with marbles.
Talking about marbles, I'm sure there was some discussion about setting up a forum on the GMB site? I'm sure collectors would be interested.
Thanks for the info. Bernard. With the info. gathered I'm off to see what else I can find. By the way, have you any pics?
